Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a fitting attachment structure for an oil tank or the like of a motorcycle, which has been improved for convenient refueling.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

In a motorcycle, below the seat in the center of the vehicle body, the engine is mounted in the front and the rear wheels are located in the rear, where air cleaners, oil tanks, rear cushion units, and various electrical components are attached. Both sides are covered with side covers. For this reason, various parts are mounted in a narrow space, and maintenance such as inspection and lubrication is troublesome. In general, the oil tank is attached side by side with the air cleaner, and when refueling the oil supply port provided on the upper surface of the oil tank, it is troublesome to remove the upper sheet and the like. For example,
See Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-45180 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-178091.

[Purpose of device]

With this device, you can extend the oil filler port of the oil tank that is lined up with the air cleaner with the inspection window to the inspection window side and remove the side cover on one side to check the air cleaner and refuel the oil tank. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a mounting structure for fittings such as motorcycle oil tanks, which allows easy inspection and refueling work.

[Constitution of device]

Hereinafter, a mounting structure for fitting an accessory such as a motorcycle oil tank according to the present invention will be described with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings.

A fuel tank 2, a seat 3, and a rear wheel mudguard 4 are attached to the upper part of the vehicle body 1 from the front side. An engine 5 is mounted on the lower front part. An air cleaner 9 is attached to the rear side of the cushion unit 8 of the fork 7 after the rear wheel 6 is suspended, and is connected to the carburetor 11 by an inlet tube 10 that bypasses the cushion unit 8. Air cleaner 9
The inspection window 12 is detachably attached to one side so that the inner filter can be inspected appropriately. The suction port 13 of the air cleaner 9 is opened upward. The oil tank 14 is made of synthetic resin,
It is molded by blow molding or the like, and is shaped to be mounted side by side on the side opposite to the inspection window 12 of the air cleaner 9. And the upper rear side is along the rear wheel mudguard 4,
A projection 15 is made to extend to the inspection window 12 side, and an oil filler port 16 is provided obliquely outward at the upper end of the projection 15 made to project. Therefore, the fuel filler 16 is located behind the inspection window 12 of the air cleaner 9. The protruding portion 15 of the oil tank 14 has its refueling port 16 side raised by about 15 ° so that an air lock portion cannot be formed even when the vehicle body 1 is stood by a side stand and tilted. Side of air cleaner 9 and oil tank
The side surface of 14 is covered with a side cover 17 that is fastened to the vehicle body 1.

[Function of device]

The oil tank 14, which is installed side by side on the opposite side of the inspection window 12 of the air cleaner 9, has the upper rear side protruding 15 and extends to the inspection window 12 side, so a small front space of the rear wheel mudguard 4 is provided. It can be used to increase the volume. For the inspection of the filter of the air cleaner 9 and the refueling of the oil tank 14, the inspection window 12 and the refueling port 16 appear when the side cover 17 on one side is removed, so that the inspection and refueling can be easily performed.

[Effect of device]

As described above, the present invention provides an air cleaner having an inspection window on one side below the seat in the center of the vehicle body, and installs the oil tanks side by side on the opposite side of the inspection window. I made it protrude to the inspection window side with the oil supply port provided at the top of the protruding end, and the inspection window and the oil supply port were lined up in front and behind and covered with the side cover. The capacity of can be increased. Then, simply by removing the side cover on one side, the inspection window and the oil supply port appear, and the lubricating oil can be injected into the filter of the air cleaner and the oil tank, which improves workability and saves time.
