Abstract

A motorcycle includes a stay, which supports an electric component, an exterior component, and the like, on a front portion of a head tube of a body frame. The stay includes an upper-portion triangular frame body having a triangular shape from a V-shaped portion of a main stay and an upper stay, and at least a part of an ECU supporting portion, which supports an ECU, is disposed inward of the upper-portion triangular frame body. One apex of the upper-portion triangular frame body is positioned on a vehicle front side.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A stay for a saddle riding vehicle disposed on a front portion of a body frame,
wherein the stay includes a first frame body having a triangular shape,
at least a part of a first electric-component supporting portion is disposed inward of the first frame body, and
one apex among apices of the first frame body is oriented to a vehicle front side,
wherein the stay comprises a frame-body supporting portion made of a tube material that extends from the body frame to the vehicle front side, and that couples the one apex of the first frame body and the body frame directly.

2. The stay for a saddle riding vehicle according to claim 1 ,
wherein the frame-body supporting portion includes an exterior-component supporting portion that supports an exterior component.

3. The stay for a saddle riding vehicle according to claim 2 ,
wherein the first frame body and the first electric-component supporting portion are formed of respective frame bodies having openings, and the openings are disposed adjacent to one another.

4. The stay for a saddle riding vehicle according to claim 2 ,
wherein the stay for a saddle riding vehicle includes a second frame body using one side of the first frame body, the second frame body being different from the first frame body, and
the second frame body is mounted on the body frame via a second electric-component supporting portion.

5. The stay for a saddle riding vehicle according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first frame body and the first electric-component supporting portion are formed of respective frame bodies having openings, and the openings are disposed adjacent to one another.

6. The stay for a saddle riding vehicle according to claim 5 ,
wherein the stay for a saddle riding vehicle includes a second frame body using one side of the first frame body, the second frame body being different from the first frame body, and
the second frame body is mounted on the body frame via a second electric-component supporting portion.

7. The stay for a saddle riding vehicle according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first frame body includes an exterior-component supporting portion that supports an exterior component, and the exterior-component supporting portion is detachable from and attachable to the first frame body.

8. The stay for a saddle riding vehicle according to claim 7 ,
wherein the exterior-component supporting portion is supported to the apex of the first frame body.

9. A stay for a saddle riding vehicle disposed on a front portion of a body frame,
wherein the stay for a saddle riding vehicle includes a first frame body having a triangular shape, and
at least a part of a first electric-component supporting portion is disposed inward of the first frame body,
wherein the stay for a saddle riding vehicle includes a second frame body using one side of the first frame body, the second frame body being different from the first frame body, and
the second frame body is mounted on the body frame via a second electric-component supporting portion.

10. The stay for a saddle riding vehicle according to claim 9 , comprising
a third electric-component supporting portion supported with one side of the second frame body and the first electric-component supporting portion.

11. The stay for a saddle riding vehicle according to claim 10 ,
wherein the frame-body supporting portion, one side of the first frame body, and one side of the second frame body form a triangular shape in a side view.

12. The stay for a saddle riding vehicle according to claim 10 ,
wherein the frame-body supporting portion is coupled to the second electric-component supporting portion, and
the frame-body supporting portion, the second electric-component supporting portion, and the body frame form a triangular shape in a side view.

13. The stay for a saddle riding vehicle according to claim 9 ,
wherein the frame-body supporting portion, one side of the first frame body, and one side of the second frame body form a triangular shape in a side view.

14. The stay for a saddle riding vehicle according to claim 9 ,
wherein the frame-body supporting portion is coupled to the second electric-component supporting portion, and
the frame-body supporting portion, the second electric-component supporting portion, and the body frame form a triangular shape in a side view.

15. A stay for a saddle riding vehicle disposed on a front portion of a body frame,
wherein the stay for a saddle riding vehicle includes a first frame body having a triangular shape,
one apex of apices of the first frame body is oriented to a vehicle front side, and
a first electric-component supporting portion is formed inside, in the vehicle width direction, two apices that are positioned at left and right rear end portions of the first frame body.
