In other words, the drive shaft 48 is arranged so as to fit within the profile of the transmission case 45. However, as long as most of the drive shaft 48 (for example, half or more of the drive shaft 48) is located inside the above contour, the entire drive shaft 48 must be inside the above contour. It does not have to be located.
- Secondary sheave 56 is arranged behind and above primary sheave 55. Therefore, a relatively large space is formed between the primary sheave 55 and the secondary sheave 56 on the upper side of the front diagonal.

- Reference numeral 156 is a balance weight.
- a straddle-type vehicle such as a motorcycle
- a transmission member such as a chain 50, a transmission belt, or a drive shaft
- the position of the drive shaft 48 with respect to the vehicle body is restricted to some extent.
- the installation positions of the secondary sheave shaft 47 and the idle shaft 52 of the reduction mechanism 18 can be determined relatively freely. Therefore, in the present engine unit 2, the secondary sheave shaft 47 is provided separately from the drive shaft 48, and the positions of the secondary sheave shaft 47 and the idle shaft 52 are devised to obtain the following effects.
- the layout of the secondary sheave shaft 47 can be freely changed without being restricted by the drive shaft 48. It is. By arranging the secondary sheave shaft 47 above the drive shaft 48, the size of the lower part of the engine unit 2 can be reduced, and a relatively large space can be secured below the engine unit 2. Natsu
- the idle shaft 52 is disposed in front of the imaginary line C connecting the drive shaft 48 and the secondary sheave shaft 47 (on the side of the primary sheave 55), the engine unit The rear part of the engine unit 2 can be made smaller, and a relatively large space can be secured behind the engine unit 2. Furthermore, since the drive shaft 48 is arranged inside the contour of the transmission case 45 in side view, the drive shaft 48 and the transmission mechanism 18 can be efficiently arranged in the engine unit 2. It became.
- the size can be reduced as compared with the conventional engine unit. Particularly, a large space can be secured behind and below the engine unit 2. According to the present engine unit, various effects can be exerted by this.
- the steering stability can be improved.
- the pivot shaft 100 can be positioned below the axis of the secondary sheave shaft 47.
- the drive shaft 48 and the pivot shaft 100 can be brought closer (see FIG. 1). Therefore, when the rear arm 8 swings around the pivot shaft 100, the slack of the chain 50 wound around the drive shaft 48 can be reduced. Therefore, the transmission efficiency of the driving force to the rear wheel 7 can be improved, and the generation of noise due to the slack of the chain 50 can be suppressed.
- the chain 50 for transmitting the driving force of the drive shaft 48 is the chain 50.
- a drive shaft or the like is used as the transmission member, almost the same effect can be obtained because the distance between the drive shaft 48 and the pivot shaft 100 is short. That is, when the rear arm 8 swings about the pivot shaft 100, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the transmission efficiency of the driving force.
- the pivot shaft 100 is preferably provided near the rear of the drive shaft 48. It should be noted that the degree of the “near” is not particularly limited, but it is particularly preferable that the degree is, for example, within the radius of the secondary sheave 56, which is desired to be within the diameter of the secondary sheave 56.
- reference numeral 150 indicates a kick starter axis.
- the kick starter shaft 150 is disposed below the drive shaft 48.
- the kick starter shaft 150 is disposed so as to fit inside the contour of the crank case 22 when viewed from the side.
- the idler shaft 52 is formed between the axis of the drive shaft 48 and the secondary sheave shaft 47. It is located closer to the primary sheave 55 than the imaginary line C connecting the axis. Therefore, by bringing the reduction gear (large reduction gear) 75 of the idle shaft 52 closer to the primary sheave 55, the force S can be arranged so that the reduction gear 75 partially overlaps the primary sheave 55 in a side view. As a result, the size of the rear part of the engine unit 2 can be further reduced.
- the reduction gear (large reduction gear) 77 of the drive shaft 48 is arranged inside the contour of the transmission case 45 in a side view. Therefore, the engine unit 2 is further downsized.
- the present invention is useful for an engine and a straddle-type vehicle for a straddle-type vehicle such as a motorcycle.
