Abstract
An exhaust device that guides exhaust gas from an exhaust pipe in front of an engine to a muffler in a rear of the engine is provided. The exhaust device includes a primary catalyst case accommodating a primary catalyst configured to purify the exhaust gas at a downstream side from the exhaust pipe, a secondary catalyst case accommodating a secondary catalyst configured to purify the exhaust gas at a downstream side from the primary catalyst, and a chamber formed with a muffling chamber configured to reduce an exhaust noise at a downstream side from the secondary catalyst. The primary catalyst case is disposed in a front space of the engine. The secondary catalyst case is disposed on a front part of a lower space of the engine. The chamber is disposed so as to occupy at least a rear part of the lower space of the engine.

An exhaust device configured to guide exhaust gas from an exhaust pipe in front of an engine to a muffler in a rear of the engine, the muffler including a first muffling chamber, the exhaust device comprising:
- a primary catalyst case accommodating a primary catalyst configured to purify the exhaust gas at a downstream side from the exhaust pipe;
- a secondary catalyst case accommodating a secondary catalyst configured to purify the exhaust gas at a downstream side from the primary catalyst;
- and
- a chamber formed with a second muffling chamber configured to reduce an exhaust noise and disposed at a downstream side from the secondary catalyst and an upstream side from the muffler, wherein
- the primary catalyst case is disposed in a front space of the engine,
- the secondary catalyst case is disposed on a front part of a lower space of the engine,
- the chamber is disposed so as to occupy at least a rear part of the lower space of the engine,
- most of the secondary catalyst case is disposed on a lower side of the engine and on a front side of a center of a crankshaft, and
- an upstream end of the chamber is disposed on the front side of the center of the crankshaft.
