Abstract
The present air intake device for a straddle-type vehicle, includes: an air cleaner case including an outer wall having an outer surface; and an air intake case of a fixed volume having an open end. The open end is disposed opposite to the outer surface of the outer wall so that a predetermined gap is formed between the open end of the air intake case and the outer surface of the outer wall. Thereby, an air intake chamber is formed in the air intake case and the gap forms an air intake inlet. The air intake chamber communicates with an air inlet of an apparatus mounted on the vehicle.
