Abstract

There is provided a saddle-ridden type vehicle. An air intake piping is connected between an air cleaner and a supercharger. An air outlet piping is connected between the supercharger and an intercooler. An air bypass passage is provided between the air outlet piping and the air intake piping to allow compressed air to escape toward an upstream side of the supercharger without flowing in the supercharger. An air bypass valve is configured to open and close the air bypass passage. The supercharger is disposed in front of the engine. The air cleaner is disposed above the engine. The air intake piping extends in an upper-lower direction in a region ranging from the above of the engine to a front of the engine at one side in a vehicle width direction. The air bypass valve is disposed at the rear of the air intake piping.

Dependent claims

A saddle-ridden vehicle comprising:

an engine having a cylinder and a cylinder head above a crank case;
an air cleaner configured to purify air for fuel combustion;
a supercharger configured to compress the air purified by the air cleaner;
an intercooler configured to cool the air compressed by the supercharger and to supply the air to the engine;
an air intake piping connected between the air cleaner and the supercharger and configured to supply the air purified by the air cleaner to the supercharger;
an air outlet piping connected between the supercharger and the intercooler and configured to supply the air compressed by the supercharger to the intercooler;
an air bypass passage provided between the air outlet piping and the air intake piping and configured to allow the compressed air downstream of the supercharger to escape toward an upstream side of the supercharger without flowing the compressed air in the supercharger;
and
an air bypass valve configured to open and close the air bypass passage,
wherein the supercharger is disposed in front of the engine,
wherein the air cleaner is disposed above the engine,
wherein the air intake piping extends in an upper-lower direction in a region ranging from above the engine to a front of the engine at one side in a vehicle width direction, and
wherein the air bypass valve is disposed at the rear of the air intake piping.
