Abstract

A straddle vehicle includes: a body frame including a main frame extending rear-downward from a head pipe, a pivot frame extending downward from the main frame, and a lower frame which extends downward from the head pipe and extends rearward, and further, is connected to a lower portion of the pivot frame; a side stand which supports a vehicle body during parking; and a main step on which a foot of a rider is placed. A side stand bracket for supporting the side stand includes a first fixing portion connected only to the lower portion of the pivot frame and a second fixing portion connected only to a main step bracket for supporting the main step.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A straddle vehicle comprising:
a body frame including a main frame extending rear-downward from a head pipe, a pivot frame extending downward from the main frame, and a lower frame which extends downward from the head pipe and extends rearward, and further, is connected to a lower portion of the pivot frame;
a side stand which supports a vehicle body during parking;
a side stand bracket which supports the side stand;
a main step configured to support a foot of a rider; and
a main step bracket which supports the main step, wherein
the main step bracket is arranged on an outer side in a vehicle width direction of the side stand bracket,
the side stand bracket includes:
a first fixing portion which has a first fixing hole and which is fixed to the pivot frame by screwing a first fastening bolt which passes through the first fixing hole to the lower portion of the pivot frame; and
a second fixing portion which has a second fixing hole and which is fixed to the main step bracket by screwing a second fastening bolt to the second fixing hole,

a head portion of the first fastening bolt passes through an opening portion of the main step bracket,
the side stand bracket and the main step bracket are not fixed to each other by the first fastening bolt,
the second fastening bolt is not screwed to the lower portion of the pivot frame, and
the side stand bracket and the lower portion of the pivot frame are not fixed to each other by the second fastening bolt.

2. The straddle vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein
a diameter of the second fastening bolt mounted on the second fixing portion is smaller than that of the first fastening bolt.

3. The straddle vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein
the main step bracket is arranged so that at least a part of the main step bracket overlaps with the side stand bracket when seen from a side.

4. The straddle vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein
a shift lever for changing a gear ratio of a vehicle by an operation of the rider is supported in the lower frame, and
a rotation shaft of the shift lever overlaps with the main step bracket when seen from a side.

5. The straddle vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein
the side stand bracket includes a forward extension portion which extends in a forward direction to be closer to the main step than a side stand mounting portion below the lower frame and the pivot frame, and
the second fixing portion is provided in the forward extension portion.

6. The straddle vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein
a recess portion recessed inward in the vehicle width direction is formed in the lower portion of the pivot frame, and
the first fixing portion is provided in the recess portion.

7. The straddle vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein
the lower portion of the pivot frame includes a frame fixing portion which is fixed to the lower frame in a vicinity of the side stand bracket, and which is not fixed to the side stand bracket and the main step bracket.

8. The straddle vehicle according to claim 6 , wherein the side stand bracket is attached to the recess portion.
