Abstract
A breather apparatus for an internal combustion engine for a vehicle in which an air cleaner is disposed above a crankcase. A breather tube is provided for guiding blow-by gas exhausted from the crankcase. The breather tube is coupled with a breather chamber formed in the air cleaner to separate gas and liquid in the breather chamber in the air cleaner. An upstream side flow path, coupled to the breather tube, and a downstream side flow path, continuously extending in a substantially U-shape to the upstream side flow path, are formed in the breather chamber.
