Problem: The objective of the present invention is to provide a technique to enable more accurate measurement of oxygen contained in an exhaust gas in an exhaust device provided with an oxygen sensor. Solution: A catalyst which cleans the exhaust gas is provided in an exhaust pipe in an exhaust device that includes a muffler coupled downstream of the exhaust pipe, and an oxygen sensor is mounted on a pipe portion that is disposed downstream from the catalyst and that is directly coupled to the catalyst. The oxygen sensor is provided substantially perpendicular to the axial direction of the pipe portion through which the exhaust gas flows. The oxygen sensor includes a detecting portion, the detecting portion is disposed in a recessed portion formed in the muffler, and a wire is disposed on an outer side of the recessed portion.

A rear structure of a saddle-ride type vehicle for preventing rainwater or the like splashed by a rear wheel from entering a fresh air inlet of an engine intake system. The rear structure of a saddle-ride type vehicle includes a rear fender halved into a first fender and a second fender connected to each other. The first fender is formed with a hanging portion so as to cover the rear and upside of a rear wheel and the second fender covering the upside of the rear wheel with a fresh air inlet being provided lateral to and in front of the rear wheel. The first fender and the second fender are disposed to overlap each other in an anteroposterior direction. The second fender is disposed on the vehicle-widthwise inside of the first fender. The second fender has anteroposteriorly and downwardly extending sidewalls at both vehicle-widthwise lateral end portions.

Rear structure of saddle-ride type vehicle

A saddle-ride type vehicle can include a pair of left and right seat rails, a fuel tank attached to the seat rails, a rear fender arranged below the fuel tank, and a canister arranged above the rear fender and adsorbing fuel gas which evaporates in the fuel tank. The canister is arranged under a rear portion of the fuel tank, at least partially superposed on the fuel tank as viewed from a plan view of the vehicle, and arranged in a vehicle forward direction with respect to a cross member which interconnects rear portions of the pair of left and right seat rails.

A scooter vehicle includes a steering handlebar, a radiator disposed under a seat, a step floor disposed between the steering handlebar and the scat, and a leg shield disposed forward of the step floor. The leg shield includes an upper portion protruding toward a rider side which includes a stuff box portion that shields the legs of the rider. The leg shield also is provided with an opening portion serving as a feed-water port for the radiator. The opening portion is covered by a cover member extending along a tunnel portion of the step floor in a back and forth direction of a vehicle body. The resulting configuration reduces the length of a feed-water pipe, thereby enhancing the ability to perform maintenance of the radiator.

Scooter type vehicle

A motorcycle includes a body frame having at least a pair of right and left or front and rear frame members with a storage box that is open upward between the pairing frame members. A riding seat covers the opening end of the storage box from above. The storage box includes a box main body arranged between the pair of frame members with a box constituent member that is detachably mounted below the box main body so as to form an electronic component storage chamber in cooperation with the box main body that composes a part of the wall portion of the storage box. The box constituent member is overlapped with at least a part of the frame members of a pair of frame members viewed in a plane with the box constituent member mounted to the box main body. The box constituent member bulges from the box main body.
