A canister 49 that functions as a fuel vapor emission suppression device is provided to the side of the front frame 19 and below the left rear frame 20.

[0021] Components such as a power system, a braking system, and a display / lighting system (corresponding to vehicle-mounted components) are mounted at intervals in the front-to-rear direction, etc. on the saddle-ride type vehicle 10. Wiring members 50 connecting these components are routed along the body frame 11. The wiring member 50 includes a main harness 51 consisting of a group of wiring connecting electrical system components, brake piping 52, 53 connecting braking system components, throttle cables 54, 55 for throttle control in the power system, fuel piping 56 in the fuel supply system, and piping 57, 58 connected to the canister 49.

[0022] 3, the main harness 51 is routed rearward and downward along the right side of the front frame 19. In other words, the main harness 51 is disposed in a right space overlapping with the front frame 19 in a side view of the vehicle body. 2, the brake pipes 52, 53 are routed rearward and downward along the left side of the front frame 19. In other words, the brake pipes 52, 53 are arranged in a left space overlapping with the front frame 19 in a side view of the vehicle body.

[0023] As shown in Fig. 3, the throttle cables 54, 55 are arranged to extend rearward and downward along the right side of the head pipe 18 and the right side of the front frame 19, and connect to the throttle body 47. As shown in Fig. 2, the fuel pipe 56 is arranged to extend rearward from the throttle body 47 side (more specifically, the injector) along the left side of the front frame 19, and connect to the fuel tank 29 side (more specifically, the fuel pump). As shown in FIG. 2, the pipes 57, 58 connected to the canister 49 are a charge pipe 57 that passes through the left side of the rear frame 20 and connects to the fuel tank 29, and a purge pipe 58 that passes through the left side of the front frame 19 and connects to intake system components (such as the throttle body 47).

[0024] As shown in Fig. 2, the saddle-ride type vehicle 10 is provided with a carrier 70 capable of holding luggage. The carrier 70 is provided in the space of the foot straddle section 36M, in other words, in front of the seat 17 and behind the head pipe 18, and positioned above the front frame 19. The carrier 70 is attached to a plurality of support members 81, 82, 83, and 84 provided on the front frame 19. The carrier 70 functions as a center carrier and corresponds to the "luggage holding section" of the present invention.

[0025] FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the carrier 70 together with the surrounding structure. The carrier 70 has a carrier body 70A that serves as a luggage platform. The carrier body 70A is formed using a cylindrical or rod-shaped metal member into a shape that allows luggage to be placed along the space of the footrest 36M and has a structure with appropriate strength. The shape and structure of the carrier body 70A may be changed as appropriate.

[0026] The carrier 70 includes a pair of left and right carrier-side front mounting portions 71, 72 provided at the front of the carrier main body 70A, and a pair of left and right carrier-side rear mounting portions 73, 74 (see FIG. 3) provided at the rear of the carrier main body 70A. These mounting portions 71-74 are fixed to support members 81, 82, 83, 84 using fastening members 76. Note that the fixing is not limited to the configuration using fastening members 76, and other fixing methods may also be used. The carrier-side front mounting portions 71, 72 and the carrier-side rear mounting portions 73, 74 correspond to the "mounting portions on the luggage holding section side."

[0027] 2 and 3, the pair of left and right carrier-side front mounting portions 71, 72 each extend forward from the front of the carrier main body 70A toward the front frame 19. Carrier-side fixing portions 71K, 72K are provided at the front ends, which are the extending ends of the carrier-side front mounting portions 71, 72, and are fixed to support members 81, 82 using fastening members 76. Furthermore, the pair of left and right carrier-side rear mounting portions 73, 74 each extend downward from the rear of the carrier main body 70A toward the front frame 19. Carrier-side fixing portions 73K, 74K are provided at the lower ends, which are the extending ends of the carrier-side rear mounting portions 73, 74, and are fixed to support members 83, 84 using fastening members 76.

[0028] Next, a description will be given of the support members 81 to 84. The support members 81 to 84 function as members that support the carrier 70 by fixing the pair of left and right carrier-side front mounting portions 71, 72 and the pair of left and right carrier-side rear mounting portions 73, 74 to the support members 81 to 84, respectively. For ease of explanation, of the support members 81 to 84, the support members 81 and 82 to which the carrier side front mounting portions 71 and 72 are respectively fixed will be referred to as "front side support members 81 and 82," and the support members 83 and 84 to which the carrier side rear mounting portions 73 and 74 are respectively fixed will be referred to as "rear side support members 83 and 84."

[0029] FIG. 5 is a side view showing the left front support member 81 together with the surrounding configuration. 5, the front-side support member 81 includes a stay portion 81S joined to the front frame 19 and a fixing portion 81K provided at the tip of the stay portion 81S. The fixing portion 81K is a portion to which the carrier-side fixing portion 71K of the carrier-side front mounting portion 71 is fixed. The stay portion 81S is provided around the brake pipes 52, 53. The brake pipes 52, 53 extend horizontally from the head pipe 18 side, passing along the left side of the front frame 19 towards the rear of the vehicle, and then bend downward and rearward along the front frame 19. The stay portion 81S is located directly below the bent portion of the brake pipes 52, 53, in an area where the front frame 19 is exposed to the left, and is joined to the front frame 19 at that position by welding.

[0030] The stay portion 81S is configured of a first rod-shaped member 91 and a second rod-shaped member 92, each of which is made up of a plurality of rod-shaped members. The first rod-shaped member 91 is a metal cylindrical member that is welded to the front frame 19 in a direction that slopes downward toward the rear. The second rod-shaped member 92 is a metal cylindrical member that is welded to the front frame 19 in a horizontal direction that runs along the front-to-rear direction. In this configuration, the rod-shaped members 91, 92 are manufactured using metal rods of approximately the same diameter. In this description, "direction along" is not limited to the exact same direction, but includes a range of directions that can be considered equivalent. In the following description, the portion of each rod-shaped member 91, 92 that is joined to the front frame 19 will be referred to as the "base end," and the portion other than the base end will be referred to as the "tip end."

[0031] 5, the base end 91A of the first rod-shaped member 91 is joined by welding to the front frame 19 in a direction that follows the downward rearward direction, below and in front of the portions where the multiple brake pipes 52, 53 extend horizontally in the front-to-rear direction. The base end 92A of the second rod-shaped member 92 is joined to the front frame 19 in a direction that follows the horizontal front-to-rear direction, below the portions where the multiple brake pipes 52, 53 extend horizontally in the front-to-rear direction.

[0032] That is, the base end portion 91A of the first rod-shaped member 91 and the base end portion 92A of the second rod-shaped member 92 are joined to the front frame 19 in a direction along the plurality of brake pipes 52, 53. Therefore, the first rod-shaped member 91 and the second rod-shaped member 92 can be fixed to the front frame 19 by utilizing the space around the brake pipes 52, 53 without interfering with the arrangement of the brake pipes 52, 53. Furthermore, because the welding length of each rod-shaped member 91, 92 can be ensured without interfering with the arrangement of the brake pipes 52, 53, the fixing strength between the stay portion 81S and the front frame 19 can be sufficiently ensured.

[0033] The brake pipes 52, 53 are held to the front frame 19 by clamps 77 (FIG. 5) around the front support member 81. Therefore, even if the first rod-shaped member 91 and the second rod-shaped member 92 are arranged close to the brake pipes 52, 53, contact between the rod-shaped members 91, 92 and the brake pipes 52, 53 can be avoided.

[0034] FIG. 6 is a front view of the left and right front support members 81, 82 together with the surrounding structure. As shown in Fig. 6, the tip 91B of the first rod-shaped member 91 extends outward in the vehicle width direction from the front frame 19 and then extends upward. The fixing portion 81K is joined to this upwardly extending portion by welding. In this case, the tip 91B of the first rod-shaped member 91 has a lower portion located below the brake pipes 52, 53 and a lateral portion located outward in the vehicle width direction from the brake pipes 52, 53. Therefore, the first rod-shaped member 91 can protect the brake pipes 52, 53 from below and from the outside in the vehicle width direction, and even if the brake pipes 52, 53 move due to the influence of an external force, the downward and outward movement in the vehicle width direction can be suppressed.

[0035] 5 and 6, the tip 92B of the second rod-shaped member 92 extends outward in the vehicle width direction from the front frame 19, similar to the tip 91B of the first rod-shaped member 91. This tip 92B extends in the same direction as the tip 91B of the first rod-shaped member 91 and is joined to the tip 91B by welding. Since the second rod-shaped member 92 and the first rod-shaped member 91 are joined to each other, the strength of the stay portion 81S can be improved.

[0036] In addition to the carrier-side fixing portion 71K of the carrier-side front mounting portion 71, the inner cover 36 (part of the leg shield 34), which is one of the exterior parts of the saddle-ride type vehicle 10, is fixed to the fixing portion 81K. This makes it possible to combine the support members required for supporting the carrier 70 and the leg shield 34, which is advantageous in reducing the number of parts.

[0037] In this configuration, the stay portion 81S is formed by the first rod-shaped member 91 and the second rod-shaped member 92, which increases the strength of the stay portion 81S itself and the fixing strength between the stay portion 81S and the front frame 19. Furthermore, of these rod-shaped members 91, 92, the fixing portion 81K is provided on the first rod-shaped member 91, which is welded to the front frame 19 in a vertical direction rather than a horizontal direction, so that the load acting in the direction of gravity from the carrier 70 and the leg shield 34 can be efficiently supported. Note that the direction of welding to the front frame 19 being vertical rather than horizontal can be understood to mean, for example, that the direction of welding to the front frame 19 is within a range of 45° with respect to the vertical direction.

[0038] FIG. 7 is a side view showing the right front support member 82 together with the surrounding configuration. The right front support member 82 has a substantially symmetrical structure to the left front support member 81, so similar parts are denoted by the same reference numerals and redundant explanations will be omitted. The stay portion 82S of the right front support member 82 is provided around the throttle cables 54, 55. More specifically, the throttle cables 54, 55 extend downward from the head pipe 18 to the right of the front frame 19, then bend rearward and downward at an angle that is relatively close to horizontal (indicated by symbol α in FIG. 7), and then extend rearward and downward at an angle that is relatively close to vertical (indicated by symbol β in FIG. 7). The stay portion 82S is joined by welding below the portions α, β where the throttle cables 54, 55 bend rearward and in an area where the front frame 19 is exposed to the right side.

[0039] 7, the base end 91A of the first rod-shaped member 91 is welded to the front frame 19 in a direction along the downward rearward direction below a portion β where the throttle cables 54, 55 bend downward rearward at an angle that is relatively closer to vertical. In addition, the base end 92A of the second rod-shaped member 92 is welded to the front frame 19 in a horizontal direction along the fore-and-aft direction below a portion α where the throttle cables 54, 55 bend downward rearward at an angle that is relatively closer to horizontal.

[0040] As a result, the base end portion 91A of the first rod-shaped member 91 and the base end portion 92A of the second rod-shaped member 92 are joined to the front frame 19 in a direction along the throttle cables 54, 55. As described above, the first rod-shaped member 91 and the second rod-shaped member 92 can be fixed to the front frame 19 by utilizing the space around the throttle cables 54, 55 without interfering with the arrangement of the throttle cables 54, 55. Furthermore, since the welding length of each rod-shaped member 91, 92 can be ensured without interfering with the arrangement of the throttle cables 54, 55, the fixing strength between the stay portion 82S and the front frame 19 can be sufficiently ensured.

[0041] 6, in the right front support member 82, the tip end portion 91B of the first rod-shaped member 91 has a lower portion located below the throttle cables 54, 55 and a lateral portion located on the vehicle width outer side of the throttle cables 54, 55. This makes it possible to guard the throttle cables 54, 55 from below and from the vehicle width outer side, and to restrict movement of the throttle cables 54, 55 downward and outward in the vehicle width direction.

[0042] Fig. 8 is a side view showing the left rear support member 83 together with the surrounding structure. Fig. 9 is a perspective view showing the left rear support member 83 together with the surrounding structure from the front left. Fig. 10 is a view showing the left and right rear support members 83, 84 together with the surrounding structure from above. As shown in Figure 8, the rear side support member 83 includes a stay portion 83S joined to the left side rear frame 20, and a fixing portion 83K provided at the tip of the stay portion 83S and to which the carrier side fixing portion 73K of the carrier side rear mounting portion 73 is fixed. The stay portion 83S is provided around the purge pipe 58 and the fuel pipe 56. More specifically, as shown in Figures 8 to 10, the purge pipe 58 extends to the left of the front frame 19 and the rear frame 20 in a generally horizontal direction along the front-to-rear direction, and the fuel pipe 56 extends to the left of the purge pipe 58 in a generally horizontal direction along the front-to-rear direction. The stay portion 83S is joined by welding to a region near the purge pipe 58 and the fuel pipe 56 and in which the rear frame 20 is exposed on the left side in a side view of the vehicle body.

[0043] The stay portion 83S is composed of a first metal rod-shaped member 95 that is welded to the left rear frame 20 in a horizontal direction along the front-to-rear direction, and a second metal rod-shaped member 96 that is aligned in the vertical direction with the first rod-shaped member 95 and that is welded to the left rear frame 20 in a direction along the front-to-rear direction. The first rod-shaped member 95 and the second rod-shaped member 96 are made using metal cylindrical members, and in this configuration, are made using metal rods of approximately the same diameter.

[0044] 8 to 10 , base ends 95A, 96A of the first rod-shaped member 95 and the second rod-shaped member 96 are joined to the rear frame 20 so as to be oriented horizontally along the front-to-rear direction in a side view of the vehicle body, and are also joined to each other by welding. Therefore, the base ends 95A, 96A of the first rod-shaped member 95 and the second rod-shaped member 96 are joined to the rear frame 20 so as to be oriented along the purge pipe 58 and the fuel pipe 56. Therefore, the first rod-shaped member 95 and the second rod-shaped member 96 can be joined to the rear frame 20 by utilizing the space around the purge pipe 58 and the fuel pipe 56 without interfering with the arrangement of the purge pipe 58 and the fuel pipe 56, and it is easy to increase the joining length (corresponding to the welding length) with the rear frame 20.

[0045] As shown in FIG. 10, the base ends 95A, 96A of the rod-shaped members 95, 96 extend along the surface of the rear frame 20 in a plan view of the vehicle body, and are joined to the rear frame 20 by welding over the entire length of the base ends 95A, 96A. 9, a frame-shaped pipe holder 101 with a portion open is attached to the stay portion 83S made up of the first rod-shaped member 95 and the second rod-shaped member 96, and the purge pipe 58 and the fuel pipe 56 are passed through this pipe holder 101. The pipe holder 101 holds the purge pipe 58 and the fuel pipe 56, and can restrict the movement of the purge pipe 58 and the fuel pipe 56.

[0046] 9, the tip end 95B of the first rod-shaped member 95 bends forward from the end of the base end 95A that is on the outer side in the vehicle width direction, and the fixing portion 83K is joined by welding to the portion that extends forward. In this case, the tip end 95B of the first rod-shaped member 95 has a lower portion that is located below the purge pipe 58 and the fuel pipe 56, and a lateral portion that is located on the outer side in the vehicle width direction of the purge pipe 58 and the fuel pipe 56. Therefore, the purge pipe 58 and the fuel pipe 56 can be protected from below and from the outer side in the vehicle width direction, and movement of the purge pipe 58 and the fuel pipe 56 downward and outward in the vehicle width direction can be suppressed.

[0047] A tip end 96B of the second rod-shaped member 96 bends forward from the end of the base end 96A that is outer in the vehicle width direction, and is joined by welding from the base end 96A to the tip end 96B to the first rod-shaped member 91. The first rod-shaped member 95 and the second rod-shaped member 96 overlap in the vertical direction and are joined to each other, which is advantageous for improving the strength of the stay portion 83S and also for improving the fixing strength between the stay portion 83S and the rear frame 20.

[0048] Fig. 11 is a side view showing the right rear support member 84 together with the surrounding structure. Fig. 12 is a view showing the right rear support member 84 together with the surrounding structure from the front. The right rear support member 84 has a substantially symmetrical structure to the left rear support member 83, so similar parts are denoted by the same reference numerals and redundant explanations will be omitted. 11 and 12, the stay portion 84S of the right rear support member 84 is provided around the main harness 51. More specifically, the main harness 51 passes to the right of the right rear frame 20 and extends rearward and downward at an angle close to horizontal. The rear support member 84 is joined by welding below the main harness 51 to an area of ​​the right rear frame 20 that is exposed to the right.

[0049] 11 , base ends 95A, 96A of the first rod-shaped member 95 and the second rod-shaped member 96 are joined to the rear frame 20 by welding so as to be oriented horizontally along the fore-and-aft direction in a side view of the vehicle body, and are also joined to each other by welding. Therefore, the base ends 95A, 96A of the first rod-shaped member 95 and the second rod-shaped member 96 are joined to the rear frame 20 in an orientation along the main harness 51. Therefore, the first rod-shaped member 95 and the second rod-shaped member 96 can be joined to the rear frame 20 by utilizing the space around the main harness 51 without interfering with the arrangement of the main harness 51, and it is easy to increase the joining length (corresponding to the welding length) with the rear frame 20.

[0050] In addition, the base ends 95A, 96A of the first rod-shaped member 95 and the second rod-shaped member 96 of the right-side rear support member 84, like the left-side rear support member 83, extend along the surface of the rear frame 20 and are welded to the rear frame 20 over the entire length of the base ends 95A, 96A.

[0051] 12, the tip portion 95B of the first rod-shaped member 95 extends outward in the vehicle width direction from the upper end of the base end portion 95A and then extends upward, and the fixing portion 84K is joined to the upward extending portion by welding. In this case, the tip portion 95B of the first rod-shaped member 95 has a lower portion located below the main harness 51 and a side portion located outward in the vehicle width direction of the main harness 51. Therefore, the main harness 51 is protected from below and from the outside in the vehicle width direction, and movement of the main harness 51 downward and outward in the vehicle width direction can be suppressed.

[0052] As described above, the saddle-ride type vehicle 10 of this embodiment includes the wiring member 50 that passes around the body frame 11, the carrier 70 that functions as a luggage holding section, and the support members 81-84 that support the carrier 70. The support members 81-84 each include stay portions 81S-84S attached to the body frame 11 in a direction along the wiring member 50 located around each of the support members 81-84, and fixing portions 81K-84K that are provided on the stay portions 81S-84S and to which the carrier 70 is fixed. This configuration makes it easier to support the carrier 70 on the body frame 11 without interfering with the arrangement of the wiring member 50.

[0053] Furthermore, since the stay portions 81S to 84S are cylindrical, the wiring member 50 is unlikely to be damaged even if the wiring member 50 comes into contact with the stay portions 81S to 84S. Furthermore, since the stay portions 81S to 84S have a plurality of rod-shaped members 91, 92, 95, and 96 attached to the body frame 11 in a direction along the wiring member 50, it becomes easier to improve the fixing strength between the stay portions 81S to 84S and the body frame 11 and to improve the strength of the stay portions 81S to 84S themselves.

[0054] Furthermore, rear-side support member 83 guides purge pipe 58 and fuel pipe 56, which are parts of wiring member 50, and rear-side support member 84 guides main harness 51, which is also part of wiring member 50. Therefore, the number of dedicated parts for guiding wiring member 50 can be reduced, making it easier to reduce the number of parts.

[0055] Furthermore, with regard to the front-side support members 81, 82, the first rod-shaped member 91 and the second rod-shaped member 92 constituting the stay portions 81S, 82S are welded to the front frame 19 in directions along the routing member 50 (the purge pipe 58, the fuel pipe 56, and the throttle cables 54, 55), and are welded to the front frame 19 in different directions. Of these rod-shaped members 91, 92, the first rod-shaped member 91, which is welded to the front frame 19 in a direction vertical to horizontal, is provided with fixing portions 81K, 82K to which the carrier 70 is fixed. With this configuration, the stay portions 81S, 82S can efficiently support a load acting in the direction of gravity, which is advantageous for increasing the load weight of the carrier 70.

[0056] Furthermore, the rod-shaped members 91, 92 of the front-side support members 81, 82 have base end portions 91A, 92A welded to the front frame 19 and tip end portions 91B, 92B that are not joined to the front frame 19, and the tip end portions 91B, 92B extend in the same direction and are joined by welding. With this configuration, it is easy to ensure sufficient strength of the stay portions 81S, 82S even if the directions in which they are welded to the front frame 19 are different.

[0057] Furthermore, since the carrier 70 and the leg shield 34, which is an exterior part, are fixed to the front support members 81, 82, the parts necessary for supporting the carrier 70 and the leg shield 34 can be consolidated, which is advantageous in reducing the number of parts.

[0058] The rear support members 83, 84 each have a first rod-shaped member 95 and a second rod-shaped member 96 that constitute the stay portions 83S, 84S. The rod-shaped members 95, 96 are welded to the rear frame 20 in a direction along the wiring member 50 (the purge pipe 58, the fuel pipe 56, and the main harness 51) and are also welded to the rear frame 20 in the same direction. The first rod-shaped member 95 and the second rod-shaped member 96 are welded to the rear frame 20 in the front-rear direction, which corresponds to the direction along the wiring member 50, and the rod-shaped members 95, 96 are connected to each other by welding. This configuration allows the stay portions 83S, 84S to be arranged without interfering with the arrangement of the wiring member 50 even in a space that is narrow in the vertical direction. Furthermore, by ensuring a weld length in the front-rear direction, the fixing strength between the stay portions 83S, 84S and the rear frame 20 can be increased. Furthermore, since the rod-shaped members 95, 96 are connected to each other by welding, this configuration is advantageous in improving the strength of the stay portions 81S, 82S.

[0059] Furthermore, the carrier 70 is a center carrier located in front of the seat 17 and behind the head pipe 18 of the saddle-ride type vehicle 10, and the support members 81-84 have front support members 81, 82 that support the front part of the center carrier, and rear support members 83, 84 that support the rear part of the center carrier. With this configuration, the center carrier can be supported on the front frame 19 or the like without interfering with the arrangement of the wiring member 50 that is routed in front of the seat 17 and behind the head pipe 18. Moreover, since the center carrier is supported by the front and rear support members 81-84, sufficient support strength for the center carrier is ensured, which is advantageous for increasing the load weight.

[0060] Moreover, the support members 81 to 84 have a lower portion located below the wiring member 50 and a side portion located outside the wiring member 50 in the vehicle width direction. This configuration makes it possible to guard the wiring member 50 from below and from the outside in the vehicle width direction, and to suppress movement of the wiring member 50 below and outward in the vehicle width direction. This makes it possible to reduce the number of parts required for guarding and restricting movement, which is advantageous for reducing the number of parts.

[0061] The rear support member 84 has a lower portion located below the main harness 51 extending in the front-rear direction on one of the left and right sides of the front frame 19, and a lateral portion located on the outer side in the vehicle width direction of the main harness 51. Therefore, it is possible to restrict and guard the movement of the main harness 51, which has flexibility, and it is advantageous in reducing the number of parts required for restricting the movement of the main harness 51, etc.

[0062] The above embodiment illustrates one aspect of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the number of support members 81-84 may be changed as appropriate, and the number of rod-shaped members 91-94 constituting each support member 81-84 may also be changed as appropriate. Furthermore, members other than cylindrical members may be used for the stay portions 81S-84S. While the front support members 81 and 82 have been described as supporting the leg shield 34, they may not support the leg shield 34, or may support other exterior components. Furthermore, the rear support members 83 and 84 may support components other than the wiring member 50. Although the rear support member 84 has been described as supporting the main harness 51, they may support other harnesses other than the main harness 51.

[0063] Furthermore, the shapes, materials, joining methods, etc. of the body frame 11 and the support members 81-84 may also be changed as appropriate. Also, although the present invention has been described as being applied to the motorcycle shown in FIG. 1, the present invention is not limited to this and may be applied to any saddle-ride type vehicle. Saddle-ride type vehicles to which the present invention can be applied may also be electric vehicles. Also, although the present invention has been described as being applied to the support structure of a center carrier, the present invention may also be applied to the support structure of a carrier (corresponding to a luggage holding portion) other than a center carrier.
