Saddle-riding vehicle
View Patent ↗A saddle-riding vehicle includes a radiator in front of an engine of the saddle-riding vehicle and on one lateral side of the vehicle in a vehicle widthwise direction with respect to a center line in the vehicle widthwise direction. The radiator includes: a radiator body that allows coolant of the engine to flow through the radiator body; a radiator fan at a rear face of the radiator body; and a fan cover that covers the radiator fan from a rear of the radiator fan to guide exhaust air from the radiator to the one lateral side in the vehicle widthwise direction.
1. A saddle-riding vehicle comprising:
an engine which is a drive source of the vehicle; and
a radiator in front of the engine and on one lateral side of a vehicle body in a vehicle widthwise direction with respect to a center line in the vehicle widthwise direction,
wherein the radiator includes:
a radiator body that allows coolant of the engine to flow through the radiator body;
a radiator fan at a rear face of the radiator body; and
a fan cover that covers the radiator fan from a rear of the radiator fan to guide exhaust air from the radiator to the one lateral side in the vehicle widthwise direction,
wherein the fan cover includes:
an upper half including a guide wall that guides the exhaust air from the radiator toward the one lateral side in the vehicle widthwise direction, and
a lower half that is open.
2. The saddle-riding vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fan cover includes a lateral wall that prevents the exhaust air exiting the radiator from flowing toward the other lateral side in the vehicle widthwise direction.
3. The saddle-riding vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the engine includes an exhaust pipe extending on the other lateral side of the engine in the vehicle widthwise direction.
4. The saddle-riding vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the guide wall guides the exhaust air from the radiator downward and toward the one lateral side in the vehicle widthwise direction.
5. The saddle-riding vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , comprising an intrusive-flow prevention structure that prevents the exhaust air exiting the radiator fan from flowing frontward of the radiator.
6. The saddle-riding vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fan cover includes a cover opening defined therein.
7. A saddle-riding vehicle comprising:
an engine which is a drive source of the vehicle; and
a radiator in front of the engine and on one lateral side of a vehicle body in a vehicle widthwise direction with respect to a center line in the vehicle widthwise direction,
wherein the radiator includes:
a radiator body that allows coolant of the engine to flow through the radiator body;
a radiator fan at a rear face of the radiator body; and
a fan cover that covers the radiator fan from a rear of the radiator fan to guide exhaust air from the radiator to the one lateral side in the vehicle widthwise direction,
wherein the fan cover includes:
a rear wall covering an upper half of the radiator fan from the rear of the radiator fan;
a first lateral wall connected to the rear wall and covering the radiator fan from the other lateral side in the vehicle widthwise direction; and
a second lateral wall connected to the rear wall and covering the radiator fan from the one lateral side in the vehicle widthwise direction,
wherein the second lateral wall includes a protruding part protruding downward toward the one lateral side in the vehicle widthwise direction.
8. The saddle-riding vehicle as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the rear wall includes a cover opening defined therein that discharges the exhaust air from the radiator rearward.
9. The saddle-riding vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an inner cowl that is disposed in front of the radiator and guides incoming wind to the radiator,
wherein the inner cowl includes a cowl opening defined therein that is located in an outer lateral part of the inner cowl in the vehicle widthwise direction and guides incoming wind rearward of the radiator.
