Abstract: The main step structure for the saddle riding vehicle includes a fixing member, a step pin, a main step, and a biasing member that biases the main step in a developing direction. The main step structure includes an operating member supported to be rotatable relative to the main step. The operating member is provided with a contact section that makes contact with the fixing member. An engaging mechanism that can switch between an engaged state and a disengaged state of the main step and the operating member is provided. In the case where the main step is moved to an accommodated position and the operating member is made to make contact with the fixing member, the engaging mechanism puts the main step and the operating member into an engaged state.

Abstract: In an oil filler cap, a valve part of a valve device is arranged in a range between a lower end of a screw part that is screwed to an oil filler opening part in a cap body and a seal surface that is arranged at a higher position than the screw part, a ventilation passage part is arranged above the valve part, and a ratchet mechanism is arranged on an outer circumferential side of the ventilation passage part.

Abstract: A saddle-riding type vehicle includes a vehicle body frame, a side stand bracket provided at a lower portion of one side of the vehicle body frame in a vehicle width direction, and a side stand supported by the side stand bracket, in which the side stand bracket includes a stand connecting portion to which a base end portion of the side stand is rotatably connected, and a protecting portion which is provided in front of the stand connecting portion in the vehicle and protects the base end portion of the side stand.

Abstract: A rear seat for a saddle type vehicle that is readily adjustable without changing the position of a main seat to improve the riding comfort of the rear seat. A saddle type vehicle includes a head pipe, a main frame provided behind the head pipe and a seat rail extending to the rear of the main frame. A main seat is provided with a rear seat provided behind the main seat and formed as a separate member from the main seat. The rear seat is attached to a rear seat holding portion provided at a rear portion of the seat rail through a base plate for holding the rear seat thereon. The rear seat can be moved forwardly and rearwardly by making it possible for the base plate to be fixed at a plurality of positions in the forward and rearward direction with respect to the rear seat holding portion.

Abstract: A fuel pump apparatus for supplying fuel to an engine includes a lid member is formed divisionally from a first lid member having a fuel supply path, and a second lid member removably provided on the first lid member and having a fuel inflow path. A fuel filter is disposed between the first lid member and the second lid member. Since the fuel filter is built in the lid member, a protective case for protecting the fuel filter and a stay for attaching the fuel filter to a vehicle body are not required. The fuel pump apparatus so configured eliminates the requirement for a protective case for protecting a fuel filter and an attaching stay for attaching the fuel filter to a vehicle body and can achieve reduction of the cost.

Abstract: Vehicles, such as all terrain vehicles, can be provided with a frame and a fender assembly. The fender assembly can have layered fender panels attached together with a bolt and T-nut. A channel can be formed between the fender panels to facilitate passage of fluid along a predetermined pathway. A seat includes a compression surface for sandwiching the fender assembly with respect to the frame. Front and rear fender assemblies can be attached to the frame by a midpoint fastener passing through respective apertures in each of the front and rear fender assemblies, through a grommet, and into the frame. A stay assembly attaches a mudguard to the fender assembly, and can involve a swivel clip. Methods are also provided.

Abstract: In a vehicle for off-road use, an engine is mounted on a lower portion of a body frame, a carburetor is attached to the engine, and a main air cleaner is attached to the carburetor. The carburetor is provided with an air vent unit attached thereto, for transferring atmospheric pressure to fuel in a float chamber in the carburetor, and a supplemental air cleaner is attached to the tip of the air vent unit. The supplemental air cleaner is disposed above the engine, and above and anterior to the carburetor and the main air cleaner. Since the supplemental air cleaner is substantially covered, from below, by the internal combustion engine, the carburetor, and the main air cleaner, fluids splashed up from a road surface can be blocked by these components, so that the supplemental air cleaner is substantially prevented from being exposed to splashed fluids.
