An outboard motor includes an engine main body, and an intake device to supply air to the engine main body. The intake device includes a main intake pipe including a first intake pipe and a second intake pipe connected to a downstream end of the first intake pipe and extending at an angle with respect to an axial direction of the first intake pipe and through which the air supplied to the engine main body flows, and an extension pipe extending from a connection between the first intake pipe and the second intake pipe and including a resonance chamber therein. The extension pipe includes an extended peripheral wall and an end wall that closes the resonance chamber except for a portion adjacent to the main intake pipe.

Boat propulsion device

An intake manifold is connected to a cylinder head, and extends backward therefrom. An injector is attached to either the cylinder head or the intake manifold. At least one of the cylinder head and the intake manifold includes a curve pipe portion shaped to curve backward from a lateral surface of the cylinder head. An injector is attached to the cylinder head at either an outer lateral surface of the curve pipe portion in a right-and-left direction of an outboard motor or a position located forward of the curve pipe potion.

Outboard motor

A motorcycle includes a spark arrester having an increased surface area without any undue increase in the length of a silencer or the width of the motorcycle. The motorcycle includes a rear wheel and a silencer provided on a side of the rear wheel. The silencer includes an outer tube and a spark arrester which is tubular and is disposed inside the outer tube, the longitudinal axis of the spark arrester being oriented in a longitudinal direction of the outer tube. In a sectional plane which is perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the outer tube and the spark arrester, the outer tube has an outside dimension in a height direction greater than an outside dimension of the outer tube in a lateral direction, and the spark arrester has an outside dimension in the height direction greater than an outside dimension of the spark arrester in the lateral direction.
