Abstract
A recess is formed in a bottom plate of a fuel tank from above main pipes up to an upper position. An air cleaner is disposed within the recess. Side openings, which are open downward, are formed sideways of the recess. Furthermore, intake ducts are disposed respectively in the side openings. Since the bottom plate of the fuel tank is recessed from above the main pipes up to an upper position, an air cleaner is disposed within the recess, side openings are formed sideways of the recess so as to be open downward, and intake ducts are disposed in the said side openings, it is possible to ensure a sufficient fuel tank capacity.
