The cam chain chamber is configured to pool oil in a lower portion thereof. A balancer is coupled to the crankshaft and is configured to be rotated by rotational power transmitted from the crankshaft. The balancer is also disposed within the cam chain chamber, and is configured to splash oil pooled in the cam chain chamber during the rotation thereof. The engine also comprises a wall portion disposed in the cam chain chamber. The wall portion is configured to cover an upper portion of the balancer, and is disposed adjacent to a periphery of the balancer.
