Abstract
In an engine for a motorcycle, a main shaft is supported rotatably by first and second support walls of a lower case which constitutes a part of a crank case. The center distance between the crank shaft and the main shaft is to be shortened while attaining a reduction in the number of parts and the number of assembling steps. A first bearing hole is formed in a first support wall for fitting therein and holding a first bearing which is mounted on one end of the main shaft. A second bearing hole is formed in a second support wall which permits the main shaft to be inserted therein from an opposite end side of the main shaft until one end of the main shaft is fitted in the first bearing. A second bearing is fitted and held in the second bearing hole so as to be fitted on the main shaft from the opposite end side of the main shaft after fitting of one end of the main shaft into the first bearing.
