Straddled vehicle
A straddled vehicle including a body frame having a head pipe, a front cover in front of the head pipe, an exterior cover laterally covering the body frame, a fuel tank disposed behind the head pipe, an air cleaner disposed directly below the fuel tank, a duct disposed between the front cover and the head pipe and extending from an opening in the front cover, and a wind guide cover disposed between the head pipe and the fuel tank. The fuel tank and the exterior cover forms a wind guide pathway therebetween, the wind guide pathway being directly below the fuel tank, and being laterally covered with the exterior cover. The wind guide cover is configured to lead traveling wind passing through the duct from the opening to the wind guide pathway, so that the wind guide pathway leads the traveling wind to an air intake port of the air cleaner.
1. A straddled vehicle comprising:
a body frame including a head pipe;
a front cover disposed in front of the head pipe, the front cover including an opening formed therein to take in traveling wind flowing from ahead;
an exterior cover laterally covering the body frame;
a fuel tank disposed behind the head pipe;
an air cleaner disposed directly below the fuel tank, the air cleaner including an air intake port that is disposed further rearward than the fuel tank;
a duct disposed between the front cover and the head pipe, the duct extending from the opening in the front cover to a position located in front of the head pipe, to allow the traveling wind taken in from the opening to pass therethrough;
a wind guide cover disposed between the head pipe and the fuel tank; and
a handle crown disposed above a rear end of the duct and the wind guide cover in an up-and-down direction of the straddled vehicle, the handle crown being disposed above the head pipe, wherein
the fuel tank and the exterior cover forms a wind guide pathway therebetween, the wind guide pathway being directly below the fuel tank, and being laterally covered with the exterior cover, and
the wind guide cover is configured to lead the traveling wind passing through the duct to the wind guide pathway, so that the wind guide pathway leads the traveling wind to the air intake port of the air cleaner.
2. The straddled vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein a rear end of the handle crown is disposed further rearward than a front end of the wind guide cover.
3. The straddled vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the handle crown overlaps the wind guide cover in a plan view of the straddled vehicle.
4. The straddled vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the handle crown overlaps the duct in a plan view of the straddled vehicle.
5. The straddled vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein
the body frame further includes a tank support frame that is a single frame, the tank support frame extending rearward from the head pipe, and being disposed in a middle of the straddled vehicle in a width direction thereof, and
the wind guide cover is disposed directly above the tank support frame, and having an approximately U shape opened downward in a front view of the straddled vehicle.
6. The straddled vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the duct has an approximately U shape opened downward in a front view of the straddled vehicle.
7. The straddled vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a tank cover covering the fuel tank, wherein
a rear end of the wind guide cover overlaps a front edge of the tank cover in a front view or a rear view of the straddled vehicle.
8. The straddled vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a tank cover covering the fuel tank;
a stay configured to attach the tank cover to the body frame; and
a support member attached to the stay, the support member being configured to support the fuel tank.
9. The straddled vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the opening of the front cover is disposed in a middle of the straddled vehicle in a width direction thereof.
10. The straddled vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the duct functions as a meter stay.
