Electric motorcycle
An electric motorcycle in which a driving force is transmitted to a wheel by connection with less waste. The electric motorcycle is one in which a battery is disposed in a position behind a handle and in front of a seat. A driving motor is located below the seat, and a lower part of a swing arm is supported by an attachment section provided in a pivot plate, a drive shaft that transmits a driving force output from the driving motor to a wheel being supported by the swing arm.
RADIATOR
A radiator includes an upper tank and a lower tank for storing cooling water, and a core for connecting the upper tank and the lower tank to each other, the core including a plurality of cooling water pipes for flowing the cooling water between the upper tank and the lower tank, and a plurality of fins that are extended between the plurality of cooling water pipes and promote heat dissipation from the cooling water pipes, in which a recess is provided at least on a back surface which is provided to the core and where air flows.
COOLER AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A COOLER
A cooler is provided for cooling liquid, in particular of an engine of a motorcycle. The cooler has a plate-like cooler core for exchanging heat between a coolant and ambient air, and the cooler core has a planar middle region. The cooler core has a bend at each of at least two preferably opposite sides of the planar middle region.

Internal combustion engine
An internal combustion engine for being mounted laterally on a saddle-type vehicle includes an AC generator disposed on an end portion of a crankshaft which is supported in a crankcase. An ACG cover covers the AC generator from outside widthwise across the vehicle. The ACG cover includes an electric power transmission line cover bulging portion covering electric power transmission lines extending to the ACG cover and bulging sideways outwardly widthwise across the vehicle. A crank angle sensor is disposed behind the electric power transmission line cover bulging portion in a vehicle front-back direction. The crank angle sensor is thus protected from flying stones, etc. without an increase in the number of parts used and an increase in the weight of the internal combustion engine.
VEHICLE
A vehicle includes an engine unit, a radiator, a first passage, and a second passage which is provided below the cylinder head and to which lubricating liquid is supplied. The radiator is arranged in front of the engine unit. The first passage includes a first opening arranged in front of the radiator so as to face the radiator and is configured to guide first traveling wind from the first opening toward the radiator. The second passage includes a second opening arranged outside the first opening in the vehicle width while being partitioned from the first opening, and is configured to guide second traveling wind from the second opening toward the lower supplied member.

Engine upper-portion structure of saddle riding vehicle
In an engine, a cylinder block and a cylinder head are connected with a crankcase in a forwardly inclined posture. A dual clutch connects or disconnects a transmission path of power of the engine to a transmission. An actuator chamber houses an actuator that controls a hydraulic pressure of the dual clutch. The actuator chamber is disposed on an upper surface of the cylinder block at a position posterior to the cylinder head and anterior to the crankcase in a vehicle longitudinal direction.
INSTALLATION STRUCTURE FOR OIL CONTROL VALVE
There is provided an installation structure for an oil control valve configured to control a hydraulic pressure to a variable valve device, in an engine in which a cylinder head cover is provided on a cylinder head, and the variable valve device that is configured to change an opening and closing timing of a valve by a hydraulic pressure is mounted. The installation structure includes: a first slope that slopes upward and rearward from a front end on an upper surface of the cylinder head cover; and a second slope that slopes downward and rearward from a rear end of the first slope on the upper surface of the cylinder head cover. A radiator is installed in front of the cylinder head cover, and the oil control valve is installed on the second slope.
