Abstract: The vehicle body frame is configured in a manner that an upper tension pipe is removed from a first cross portion and a second cross portion. When mounting the engine in the vehicle body frame, the vehicle mounted component that is relatively heavy can be lowered into the vehicle body frame from above by removing the upper tension pipe. The vehicle body frame simplifies the removal and installation of the vehicle-mounted components.

Abstract: A structure for mounting ancillaries on a vehicle wherein one end of a first bracket in a plate form extends downwardly and is fixed to a body frame and the other end of the first bracket supports a reservoir. In addition, the first bracket supports the regulator in the proximity of the reservoir. The reservoir attached to the forward end of the first bracket functions as a deadweight which, because of the inertia of the deadweight, suppresses the vibrations of the forward end of the first bracket due to vehicle traveling and engine rotation. Thus, this structure suppresses and attenuates the vibration of the regulator attached to the first bracket.

Abstract: In a vehicle in which a front end of a hood is formed so as to extend forward from an upper portion of radiator in side view, and to be partly vertically aligned and overlapped with cooling fins of the radiator, in a first area of the radiator where the hood and the cooling fins are vertically aligned and overlapped with each other, the cooling fins are covered with a fan shroud from behind, and in a second area of the radiator where an air-intake port allows traveling wind to pass therethrough during movement of the vehicle, the cooling fins are not covered with the fan shroud, but are exposed to such traveling wind. Such arrangement of the cooling system achieves satisfactory cooling of the vehicle even in a situation in which an air-intake port, for introducing air into the radiator, must be made small.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a fuel tank, a canister for temporarily storing vaporized fuel from the fuel tank, a charge pipe that connects the fuel tank and the canister and that introduces vaporized fuel from the fuel tank to the canister, a purge pipe that connects the canister with an intake system of an internal combustion engine, and a vent pipe that connects the canister with ambient air outside of the canister. An opening of the vent pipe is arranged to open upwardly with respect to the vehicle body in a recessed portion that is formed in a hollow shape and opens downwardly in the vehicle body. A space is formed to partially open in an interval to a recessed portion sidewall of the recessed portion, and a locking member is also provided to cover the opening of the recessed portion from below.

Abstract: A reflector support structure capable of reducing the effect on the appearance of a vehicle body, while maintaining good visibility. In a vehicle including a wheel disposed on a vehicle body frame via a suspension, a fender covering an upward area of the wheel, a cross frame disposed on an inside of the fender and extending laterally across the vehicle body frame, and a shock absorber having an upper end attached to the cross frame, a reflector is disposed visibly from an outside of the vehicle body on the cross frame disposed on the inside of the fender.

Abstract: A radiator grille mounting structure for facilitating the mounting of a radiator grille. A radiator grille is mounted on part of a vehicle body frame. The radiator grille is rotated about the part of the vehicle body frame. A support portion included on the radiator grille is connected to a vehicle body cover.

Abstract: A frame for a vehicle to accommodate a large-sized accessory, such as a fuel tank, to be mounted downwardly of a rear pipe without having to lower a rear sub-pipe. A large-sized accessory, such as a fuel tank, can be inserted into a space under a rear pipe by removing a second rear sub-pipe from a main frame and the rear pipe. The second rear sub-pipe can be fixed to the main frame and the rear pipe by simply tightening bolts. Similarly, by simply loosening the bolts the second rear sub-pipe can be removed from the main frame and the rear pipe and the large-sized accessory can be removed onto an outside in a vehicle width direction. This facilitates mounting and helps reduce the number of man-hours involved in mounting the accessory.

Abstract: A manual operator for a vehicle, wherein the manual operator can be simply operated, has a good appearance, and allows a sufficient space for a manual operator for a parking brake. A first manual operator (13) pivotably mounted on a handlebar (11) has an output section (26) mounted so as to be pivotable about the center of a first support shaft (12). A second manual operator (15) has an input section (44) provided so as to be pivotable about a second support shaft (14) when pushed by the output section (26). The second manual operator (15) is a manual operator adapted for a vehicle parking brake and capable of setting the vehicle to a parked state.

Abstract: A muffler structure in which a subassembly formed by fixing an inner cylinder and a separator is not welded to the outer cylinder in welding an overlapping portion of a sheet metal wrapped around the subassembly. A subassembly is formed by fixing an inner cylinder and a separator. An outer cylinder is formed by first wrapping a sheet metal around the subassembly and next welding an overlapping portion of the sheet metal. The subassembly is formed with a recess opposed to a welded portion of the outer cylinder.

Abstract: A reserve tank structure for enhancing the degree of freedom in the layout of the filling portion of the reserve tank and the mounting bracket and the degree of freedom in the layout of parts around the reserve tank. A reserve tank structure includes a reserve hose for connecting a reserve tank to a radiator. The reserve tank includes a tank body portion for reserving a cooling water with a filling portion that extends upwardly from the tank body portion and includes a water supply port on an upper end thereof. A hose plug is connected to an end portion of the reserve hose. Mounting brackets support an intermediate portion of the reserve hose wherein the mounting bracket is mounted on the filling portion.
