Description

  The present invention relates to an improvement in a saddle-ride type vehicle in which electrical components are arranged on the side of a body frame.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a saddle-ride type vehicle in which electrical components are arranged on the side of a body frame is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1 (FIG. 1)).

  In FIG. 1 of Patent Document 1, a pair of left and right main motors are used for a motorcycle so as to extend obliquely downward and downward in the vehicle width direction from a head pipe 3 (the same reference numerals are used for the same publication). A frame 5 (hereinafter referred to as “main frame 5”) extends, and a detonation counter box 35 (hereinafter referred to as “counter box 35”) as an electrical component is attached to the outside of the main frame 5. The counter box 35 is disposed in the vicinity of the head pipe 3 and on the side of the head pipe 3. By disposing the counter box 35 on the side of the head pipe 3, the electrical components that are normally disposed in the center of the vehicle are mounted on the vehicle. It was possible to place it in the front part, increasing the degree of freedom of component layout.

By the way, in the motorcycle of Patent Document 1, a counter box 35 is attached to the side of the main frame 5 that extends so as to extend rearward of the vehicle in the vehicle width direction.
Compared with the counter box 35, if an electrical component such as a large and heavy battery is to be attached, the vehicle width increases. In addition, there is a problem that an electrical component having a relatively large weight is desired to be supported on the vehicle body with sufficient rigidity.

Japanese Patent No. 3570654

  An object of the present invention is to provide a saddle-ride type vehicle that makes it possible to attach a large electrical component with sufficient rigidity to the front portion of the vehicle without increasing the vehicle width.

  The invention according to claim 1 is a saddle riding type vehicle including a head pipe, a main frame extending rearward from the head pipe, and a stay member extending forward from the head pipe. The electrical component support member is passed between the front portion and the stay member so as to pass the side of the head pipe, and the electrical component support member is provided with a support portion for supporting the electrical component or the auxiliary device. And

  In the invention which concerns on Claim 2, the wall part which covers an electrical component from the outside is provided in the electrical component support member. Such a wall portion can protect the electrical component.

  In the invention according to claim 3, the battery is attached to one of the left and right sides of the front portion of the vehicle, and the antilock brake modulator is attached to the other side of the left and right sides of the front portion of the vehicle. Thus, by arranging the electrical components that are large and bulky on the left and right sides of the vehicle, the right and left weight distribution can be improved.

  In the invention according to claim 4, the anti-lock brake modulator and the hydraulic pressure regulator are attached to the same modulator bracket in a state where they are connected by a connecting pipe, and the electrical component support member is connected to the modulator bracket via a rubber member. Is attached. Since the anti-lock brake modulator that is relatively susceptible to vibration and the like is attached via the rubber member, it is difficult for vibration of the vehicle or the like to be directly transmitted to the anti-lock brake modulator. Therefore, the anti-lock brake modulator can be protected from vibration and the reliability of the anti-lock brake modulator can be further improved.

  In addition, since the antilock brake modulator, the hydraulic pressure regulator, and the connecting pipe are all attached to the same bracket, there is no relative displacement between the antilock brake modulator and the pressure regulator, and no load is applied to the connecting pipe.
