Abstract
An internal combustion engine is provided with a plurality of hydraulic clutches, a plurality of hydraulic controlling valves for individually controlling the oil pressure for the hydraulic clutches, and a plurality of clutch oil pressure sensors for individually detecting the controlling oil pressure of controlling oil supplying paths interconnecting the hydraulic controlling valves and the hydraulic clutches. The oil pressure sensors individually correspond to the hydraulic clutches compactly, thereby to preventing an increase in size. The clutch oil pressure sensors are provided on an engine main body so as to be disposed in the proximity of and in parallel to each other while axial directions thereof are directed in a forward and backward direction of a saddle type vehicle in a state in which the engine main body is mounted on the saddle type vehicle.
