Oil filter disposition structure of saddle-ride type vehicle

An oil filter disposition structure of a saddle-ride vehicle comprising:

• a power unit including an internal combustion engine and a transmission, the transmission being operatively coupled to the internal combustion engine, a lower portion of the power unit forming an oil reservoir;
• wherein the power unit includes an oil filter, an actuator, and a transmission mechanism, the actuator being configured to drive the transmission, the transmission mechanism being configured to transmit power from the actuator to the transmission;
• and
• the oil filter is disposed outside a wall portion of the power unit, the wall portion configuring a part of the oil reservoir, the oil filter being disposed adjacent to the wall portion and the actuator,
• wherein said transmission mechanism is disposed between a front wheel of the saddle-ride vehicle and the oil filter, said actuator is disposed at a rear of the transmission mechanism, and said oil filter is disposed adjacent to a sidewall facing a vehicle lateral side;
• an exhaust pipe operatively connected to the power unit, the exhaust pipe being coupled to the internal combustion engine, the exhaust pipe being disposed adjacent to the oil filter outwardly in a vehicle-width direction;
• said transmission mechanism includes a plurality of gears, wherein the plurality of gears are configured to transmit a driving power from the actuator to the transmission, and
• the plurality of the gears are disposed by orienting turning shaft lines of the plurality of gears in a vehicle front-rear direction.
