Abstract
An air cleaner system for a motorcycle having a single shock absorber disposed between an engine and a rear wheel so as to be close to the center of gravity of the vehicle body. The air cleaner system includes substantially one casing having an air intake opening and an air cleaner element provided therein, the casing being disposed between the engine and rear wheel substantially surrounding at least part of the shock absorber. The relatively large space between the engine and rear wheel is thus effectively utilized such that the air cleaner system has a desirably large capacity for supplying air to a multiple-cylinder, multiple-carburetor engine, and at the same time good maneuverability and high stability of the motorcycle is ensured.
