Systems and methods are provided for an air filter device. In one example, the air filter device includes a housing enclosing a filter element positioned in a filter enclosure, the filter element including an outlet in fluidic communication with a downstream intake line and an inlet conduit extending through the housing and delivering air to the filter enclosure, and the inlet conduit including a wall dividing the filter enclosure from the inlet conduit. The air filter device further includes a cover sealingly attached to the wall and a peripheral lip of the housing.

An intake tower for a work vehicle has a grille with a front face and a duct defining an internal volume and an air intake. The air intake has a periphery at which the grille is mounted and first and second ends. The first end of the air intake is closer to a region of relative low pressure within the internal volume of the duct than the second end. A partition extending between the first and second ends of the air intake is recessed from the front face of the grille. The partition defines one or more intake openings leading to the internal volume of the duct. The opening(s) or portion thereof define a first flow area at the first end of the air intake and a second flow area at the second end of the air intake. The first flow area is lesser than the second flow area, and the opening(s) or portion thereof defining the first flow area is located nearer the front face of the grille than the opening(s) or portion thereof defining the second flow area.

An intake system for an internal combustion engine may include an air inlet; a forced induction device downstream from the air inlet; an intercooler downstream from the forced induction device; and an intake conduit configured to guide air from the intercooler to an internal combustion engine. In addition, the system may include a condensate retaining structure associated with the intake conduit and configured to restrict the flow of condensate through the intake conduit.

A system in a vehicle includes a primary intake manifold, a secondary intake manifold, a valve, and a computer. The primary and secondary intake manifolds are configured for an engine compartment of the vehicle. The secondary intake manifold is arrangeable to extend from outside the engine compartment to the valve. The valve is connected to each of the primary and secondary intake manifolds. The computer is in communication with the valve and programmed to identify a flood risk and then actuate the valve.

An intake apparatus for an internal combustion engine may include: an air duct coupled to a front of an engine compartment, and having a first inlet and a second inlet formed on an outer side of the air duct and a passage space defined therein; and an integrated valve coupled to the air duct to selectively open and close the first inlet or the second inlet.

A two-wheeled vehicle is provided including a frame, front and rear ground-engaging members each supporting the frame, a straddle-type seat, a handlebar for steering the vehicle, at least one light device configured to operate in a hazard mode, an engine supported by the frame and operably coupled to the ground-engaging members, a tilt sensor, and a vehicle control unit in communication with the tilt sensor. The vehicle control unit is operative to detect a tilt angle of the vehicle based on output from the tilt sensor. The vehicle control unit is operative to determine a tip-over condition of the vehicle based on the detected tilt angle exceeding a threshold tilt angle. The vehicle control unit activates the hazard mode of the at least one light in response to the determination of the tip-over condition.

A pre-cleaner for an internal combustion engine is arranged in an intake passage of the internal combustion engine at an upstream side of a filter of an air cleaner. The pre-cleaner includes a casing that includes a cylindrical side wall and swirl generation vanes that swirl intake air about an axis of the casing. The side wall has a portion located next to an upstream side of the swirl generation vanes that is formed from an air-permeable fibrous molded body.

An engine intake air duct 1 has an intake portion 10 that extends along a first center line A, and a main duct portion 20 that extends along a second center line B. The main duct portion 20 has a merging portion 50, a discharge opening 21, and an extending portion 40 that extends from the merging portion 50 towards an opposite end to the discharge opening 20. A reflecting wall 41 is provided at an end face of the extending portion 40. The intake portion 10 merges with the main duct portion 20 in such a way that the first center line A is directed towards a downstream end of the main duct portion 20.

An internal combustion engine (10) fitted with a carburetor (40) is provided with a fire-resistant cover member (62) having a front wall (65A) facing an air inlet port (44) of the carburetor, and a breather tube (60) having an inlet end (60A) connected to a crank chamber (28) of the internal combustion engine main body, and an outlet end (60B) supported by the cover member at a position located between the front wall and the carburetor.

An air cleaner includes an air cleaner case, an element disposed in the air cleaner case, and an intake port disposed in the air cleaner case. With respect to an imaginary plane extending in opposite first and second directions, opposite third and fourth directions, and opposite fifth and sixth directions that are perpendicular to each other, the air cleaner case includes a first half located at a side of the fifth direction and a second half located at a side of the sixth direction, with respect to an imaginary plane in which the first to fourth directions extend. The intake port is formed in the first half of the air cleaner case. The air cleaner case includes a closed wall at a position substantially symmetric to a position of the intake port with respect to the imaginary plane.
