A vehicle which supplies a fuel from a fuel tank to an air-intake passage comprises a first injector which injects the fuel into the air-intake passage; a second injector which is disposed to be apart from the first injector in a flow direction of intake-air and injects the fuel into the air-intake passage; a fuel pump which discharges the fuel from the fuel tank; a first fuel tube, a first end of which is connected to the fuel pump; a second fuel tube, a first end of which is connected to the second injector; and a connector which is connected to a second end of the first fuel tube, a second end of the second fuel tube, and the first injector, and distributes the fuel from the first fuel tube, to the second fuel tube and the first injector, and the connector is firmly coupled to the first injector.

Air cleaner assemblies, components, features and methods of assembly and use are described. Example air cleaner assemblies are depicted and described in which a main filter cartridge sealing surface is recessed from an open end of a housing body. An access cover of the housing is configured with a portion extending inwardly to engage a main filter cartridge portion and bias it against the main filter cartridge sealing surface. In selected assemblies, the portion of the access cover extending inwardly toward the main filter cartridge, is a precleaner having flow separator tubes therein.

In an air cleaner for a vehicle, a connection part of a first intake duct to a cleaner case is disposed in a front half portion of one of left and right half portions of the cleaner case, the first intake duct including a first air inlet port opening forward. A connection part of a second intake duct to the cleaner case is disposed in a rear half portion of an other of the left and right half portions, the second intake duct including a second air inlet port opening rearward. The first intake duct is formed to include a first air outlet port opening rearward inside an unpurified chamber and curve in an up-down direction in a side view, and the second intake duct is formed to include a second air outlet port opening forward inside the unpurified chamber and curve in a right-left direction in a plan view.

In a saddle-ride type vehicle in which an air cleaner is arranged inward in a vehicle width direction of at least a pair of left and right main frames and arranged below a riding seat, a cleaner case for the air cleaner is configured long in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle and has a cleaner case main portion storing therein a cleaner element, and a connecting tube connection portion extending forward from the cleaner case main portion so as to be connected to a connecting tube. A pair of left and right side covers covering the cleaner case from opposite sides in the vehicle width direction are supported by side cover supporting portions that are provided on left and right opposite side walls of the cleaner case main portion and the connecting tube connection portion.

A filter element having a filter media support structure as well as a filter assembly having interacting filter media support structure components are disclosed. The support structure includes a support grid arranged on a clean side of the filter media. At least one support member is secured onto the support grid and extends outwardly away from the support grid and the filter media. The at least one support member is configured and adapted to supportively engage a respective mating support member to transfer forces from the filter element to the housing.

An air intake assembly arranged in an engine compartment of an automotive vehicle and configured for directing air into a throttle body of an engine of the vehicle is provided. The air intake assembly includes an air intake duct and an air jacket. The air intake duct is configured to direct air from an inlet duct to the throttle body. The air jacket is arranged around the air intake duct. The air jacket has a first air jacket opening and a second air jacket opening. The air jacket forms an air gap between the air jacket and the air intake duct. Air flowing through the air jacket from one of the first and second air jacket openings to the other of the first and second air jacket openings cools the air intake duct thereby reducing a temperature of air directed from the intake duct into the throttle body.

A straddle-type vehicle comprises a supercharging device which compresses intake-air to be sent to a combustion chamber of an engine; a catalyst provided in an exhaust passage through which an exhaust gas emitted from the engine flows; and a control section which controls the engine, wherein the control section performs an increase suppressing control for suppressing an increase in an exhaust gas temperature, in a case where the control section estimates that the exhaust gas temperature has exceeded an increase suppressing temperature set to be equal to or lower than a catalyst permissible temperature.

A front structure of a saddle ride type vehicle includes a headlight unit, a front cowl, and a middle cowl. At a position outside the headlight unit in the vehicle width direction, an air intake portion opening to the front side of the vehicle is formed between the front cowl and the middle cowl. The front cowl includes a partition wall configured to divide the air intake portion into an upper region and a lower region. The lower region forms an inlet of an air intake path of an air cleaner. The upper region forms a first wind guide path configured to discharge a traveling wind to the rear side of the front cowl.

A vehicle includes an air cleaner box assembly disposed within an engine compartment. The air cleaner box assembly includes a moveable shell portion and a stationary shell portion. The moveable shell portion includes an upper surface disposed adjacent a hood, and defines a filtered air chamber. The stationary shell portion is attached to a structure, and defines an unfiltered air chamber. A filter element is attached to and supported by the moveable shell portion. The filter element separates the filtered air chamber and the un-filtered air chamber. Each of a plurality of spring loaded guide members slideably connect the moveable shell portion and the stationary shell portion, and guide the moveable shell portion along a path relative to the stationary shell portion, between an expanded position and a compressed position.
