Abstract
A motorcycle air cleaner system arranged behind a rear suspension damper. A connecting tube extends from an outlet in an air cleaner so that air for combustion flows sequentially through the air cleaner and the connecting tube. A front surface of the air cleaner is brought close to the rear suspension damper by providing a recessed section for providing clearance for the rear suspension damper. An expanded portion of the connecting tube adjacent the recessed section increases the capacity of the air cleaner.
