Straddle type vehicle

Abstract

The present invention provides a straddle type vehicle. A pedal type motorcycle in which an electronic throttle control device is adopted can cause a vehicle seat to be positioned at a lower position. The straddle type vehicle is provided with the following components: an engine (20) which extends in a front-and-back direction of the vehicle; an air filter (5); the vehicle base (91) which is provided above the engine for seating; a glove compartment (92) which is provided below the vehicle seat; an air inlet channel (30) which is provided below the glove compartment for connecting the air filter with an air inlet (221); a throttle (43) which is provided on the air inlet channel; a throttle motor (50) which opens and closes the throttle; a motor driver (55) which drives the throttle motor; and a control device (80) which controls the operation state of the throttle motor according to the operation amount of an operation mechanism. When the vehicle is observed from the side surface of the vehicle, the throttle motor (50) is provided above the air inlet channel and is provided between the air inlet channel and the glove compartment. A base plate part (92a) of the compartment box is provided with an inwards dented part (92b) which is provided at a position that corresponds to the throttle motor and projects upwards.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a straddle type vehicle. Specifically, the present invention relates to a straddle type vehicle in which a throttle opening is controlled by a drive motor. Background technique [0002] In the prior art, the following electronic throttle control device is known, that is, the operating amount of the throttle handle or the accelerator pedal is measured electrically, and the throttle opening is controlled by a motor according to the difference in the operating amount. That is, a so-called throttle-by-wire (abbreviated as TBW) valve (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). [0003] In the invention described in Patent Document 1, there is disclosed an electronic throttle control device, that is, structurally speaking, some of the plurality of throttle valves are connected to each other, and the connected throttle valves can be brought close to each other. , so that the length in the cylinder installation direction can be shorte...
