The main filter (14) is arranged on a side of the mounting base (15) and the pre-separator (18) is arranged on the opposite side of the mounting base (15). The pre-separator housing is at least partly formed by the mounting base (15) and an air duct (19) extends through the mounting base (15) to fluidically connect the pre-separator to the filtration chamber.

Air cleaner

In an air cleaner, an air cleaner case having an upper opening which opens upward is formed. The air cleaner case is formed of a front wall, a rear fender, and right and left side covers. The upper opening is closed by a seat. A sound absorbing member is bonded to a bottom plate of the seat and housed in an air cleaner space. The intake noise in the air cleaner is absorbed by the sound absorbing member.

An air intake structure of a saddle riding vehicle is disposed in the saddle riding vehicle in which a frame including a left and right pair of main frames and an air box are disposed, an intake passage is disposed between the main frames and an outer periphery of the head tube, and the intake passage includes: a front side intake duct that extends forward; and a rear side intake duct that couples the air box to the head tube. In the air intake structure of the saddle riding vehicle, the rear side intake duct is a separate body from the air box, the air box has a front surface on which an opening inserted through the rear side intake duct is provided, and the rear side intake duct is coupled to an intake passage from an inside of the air box through the opening.

SINGLE-INLET AIR INTAKE CONTROL STRUCTURE

A single-inlet air intake control structure is connected to an engine of a power system and regulates the intake air quantity of the engine. The single-inlet air intake control structure comprises an air cleaner, a control valve, a throttle valve, a first pipe and a second pipe. The first pipe connects the air cleaner and the control valve. The second pipe connects the control valve and the throttle valve. The air cleaner, the first pipe, the control valve, the second pipe and the throttle valve are connected to form an air intake passage. By structural simplifying, the single-inlet air intake control structure controls the air intake passage within an appropriate length range and thus can lower the cost. Furthermore, the single-inlet air intake control structure can directly regulate the intake air quantity of the engine when the engine operates at either a high or a low speed.
