Abstract
To dispose an air cleaner having a large capacity under a fuel tank without changing the capacity and mounting height of the fuel tank. An air cleaner is disposed under a fuel tank in such a manner as to be housed in a space surrounded by a head box and right and left main frames. Independent air cleaner elements and are disposed in parallel in the air cleaner and are connected to independent intake passages A and B, respectively. The intake passages A and B form a dirty room formed in a front portion of a case main body, and are disposed on the left and right sides of water drip walls integrally formed on the bottom of the case main body. The right and left water drip walls are each formed into an approximately V-shape in a plan view and project in the intake passages. The water drip walls also separate an intake pipe opened upwardly in the clean room C from the intake passages A and B. The intake passages A and B are connected to the rear end of an intake space passing through the head box in the longitudinal direction.
