Abstract
An intake system for a vehicle includes a connecting tube disposed to bypass one side of a rear shock absorber. The capacity of the intake chamber is increased to achieve an improvement in intake performance and to reduce the influence of a liquid intake-spitting component on intake air. The connecting tube is formed to include a tubular main tube portion and a funnel portion installed integrally and consecutively with the main tube portion. The funnel portion has a funnel-shape that broadens as it nears the air cleaner with an opening of the main tube portion on the upstream end. An intake chamber serving as part of a purified-air chamber formed between the funnel portion and the cleaner case is formed at least below the main tube portion. A drain member is provided with the lower portion of the funnel portion to communicate with the lowest portion of the intake chamber.
