  • Patent number: 11827304
    Abstract: A leaning vehicle having a linkage mechanism supported by a linkage support part. The linkage mechanism includes left and right side members and a lower cross member. The lower cross member has a front cross part, a rear cross part, a coupling part coupling the front and rear cross parts, and a foreign-matter-entering-suppression part. The left and right side members are respectively rotatable about left and right axes extending in a front-rear direction of a vehicle body frame. The front and rear cross parts are rotatable about an intermediate axis parallel to the left and right axes. The foreign-matter-entering-suppression part fills a gap between the linkage support part, or the left or right side member, and the coupling part. The coupling part has a recess configured to accommodate the foreign-matter-entering-suppression part when the front and rear cross parts rotate with respect to the linkage support part.
