A first exhaust valve adjusting exhaust timing and a second exhaust valve adjusting a sectional area of an exhaust passage are provided on the common drive shaft. The second exhaust valve is rotated integrally with the drive shaft. The first exhaust valve is fitted on the drive shaft via an intermediate sleeve and a torsion coil spring. A linkage mechanism is provided so that the intermediate sleeve is stopped at a limit of rotation of the first exhaust valve. Thereafter, only the second exhaust valve is rotated.
