Abstract
In a motorcycle including an engine equipped with an inlet system, a crankcase and a cylinder block; and a fuel tank which supplies fuel to the engine, an evaporation system is formed in a compact manner using the layout space above the crankcase. The evaporation system includes a canister which temporarily traps evaporated fuel evaporated inside the fuel tank; a purge device which introduces the evaporated fuel trapped in the canister into the inlet system; and a fresh air filter which filters air introduced to the canister during a purging operation for making the inlet system suction the evaporated fuel. In such evaporation system, the canister is disposed in the rear of the cylinder block and above the crankcase, and the air filter is disposed between the cylinder block and the canister.
