A foot pedal structure for a saddle-type vehicle for preventing peripheral components in the periphery of a brake pedal from being damaged even though the brake pedal and the peripheral components are not widely spaced from each other. A brake pedal includes at least an arm extending in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle from a step support member and a pedal member mounted on a distal end of the arm and extending in a vehicle widthwise direction. An upward extension in the form of a plate member extends upwardly from a treading surface of the pedal member and is disposed on an inner end of the pedal member in the vehicle widthwise direction.

A manual operator for a vehicle, wherein the manual operator can be simply operated, has a good appearance, and allows a sufficient space for a manual operator for a parking brake. A first manual operator () pivotably mounted on a handlebar () has an output section () mounted so as to be pivotable about the center of a first support shaft (). A second manual operator () has an input section () provided so as to be pivotable about a second support shaft () when pushed by the output section (). The second manual operator () is a manual operator adapted for a vehicle parking brake and capable of setting the vehicle to a parked state.

A brake disc guard is provided inside of a rim of a front wheel and mounted on a knuckle. A caliper is located in a cutout portion formed at a front portion of the brake disc guard. The caliper is supported through a caliper bracket to the knuckle. A large-diameter portion is formed at an upper front end portion of the brake disc guard. The large-diameter portion extends so as to cover the upper side of the caliper bracket and the caliper. A scraper is formed at the front end of the large-diameter portion so as to be bent radially outwardly. The spacing a between the rim and the scraper is set to be the smallest. The dirt deposited on the rim is scraped off by the scraper, so that the dirt separated from the rim is prevented from falling onto the caliper.

A hub-side mounting part formed with the side surface of a wheel hub is provided so that an outer diameter thereof is larger than a diameter of a mounting pitch circle of a disc rotor. A hub-side through-hole and a rotor side through-hole, which are formed therein to be extended therethrough, respectively, are matched with each other to improve heat radiation and crosswind performance.
