Abstract
In a power unit for a saddle-type vehicle a locking pin on a shift drum side is fixed to a shift spindle and a detection shaft of a shift position sensor is interlocked and connected with the shift drum, the friction surface between the shift arm and the locking pin is reduced with suppression of the lowering of the rigidity of the shift arm to enable smooth gear shifting. An engagement hole in a shift arm allows insertion and engagement of a locking pin and has an elongated hole shape extending along one diameter line of a shift spindle. An insertion hole in the shift arm has an arc shape centered at the center axis line of the shift spindle to allow insertion of an interlocking shaft coaxially connected to the shift drum to be incapable of rotation relative to it.
