Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a saddle-type vehicle for which enlargement is suppressed despite an air cleaner being arranged in a position at which the air cleaner does not easily take in air that has been heated by heat from a turbocharger and a catalyst part when the saddle-type vehicle is stopped. According to the present invention, an air cleaner is arranged above a catalyst and above the rotational center axis of each of a turbine wheel and a compressor wheel. As seen in a vehicle left direction or a vehicle right direction, the air cleaner is aligned with at least one of the catalyst, the turbine wheel, and the compressor wheel in a vehicle up-down direction. The air cleaner is positioned further to the left or the right than each of the catalyst, the turbine wheel, and the compressor wheel. When a rider is seated on a seat and has his/her left foot and right foot on a left-right pair of steps, the air cleaner is positioned in front of the left leg and the right leg of the rider, and, as seen in a vehicle front direction or a vehicle rear direction, at least a portion of the air cleaner overlaps the left leg or the right leg of the rider.
