Abstract

A straddle-type vehicle includes a drive unit used for driving a rear wheel of the straddle-type vehicle, wherein a discharge port that discharges oil in the drive unit is installed on a lower section of the drive unit, and a guide that guides oil to an outside in a vehicle width direction is installed in a vicinity of a lower section of the discharge port.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A straddle-riding vehicle comprising a drive unit used for driving a driving wheel of the straddle-riding vehicle,
wherein a discharge port that discharges oil in the drive unit is installed on a lower section of the drive unit,
a guide that guides the oil to an outside in a vehicle width direction is installed in a vicinity of a lower section of the discharge port,
the guide is formed integrally with a support section that is able to support a cable body, and
the guide comprises:
a forward-rearward extension section extending in a vehicle forward-rearward direction;
an outward extension section extending outward from one end of the forward-rearward extension section in the vehicle width direction; and
a downward extension section extending downward from an outer end of the outward extension section in the vehicle width direction.

2. The straddle-riding vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein, when seen in a bottom view, an opening section that opens the discharge port downward is formed in the guide.

3. The straddle-riding vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the support section comprises a support section main body that supports the cable body further outward than the outward extension section in the vehicle width direction.

4. The straddle-riding vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the guide and the support section are fixed to a drive unit case of the drive unit by a single fixing member,
the guide is disposed on one side with respect to the fixing member in the vehicle forward-rearward direction, and
the support section is disposed on the other side with respect to the fixing member in the vehicle forward-rearward direction.

5. The straddle-riding vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a first brake caliper disposed in front of the discharge port and installed on the lower section of the drive unit; and
a second brake caliper disposed behind the discharge port and installed on a rear section of the drive unit,
wherein the support section supports a brake hose connected to the second brake caliper as the cable body.

6. The straddle-riding vehicle according to claim 5 , further comprising a wheel speed sensor installed behind the discharge port and in front of the second brake caliper and that detects a rotating speed of the driving wheel.

7. The straddle-riding vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein, when seen in a side view, the discharge port is covered with the cable body.
