Abstract
For not making a return spring visible from the outside to provide a neat appearance, a side stand 55 is installed on a side lower section of a motorcycle body through a stand bracket 80. The side stand 55 is formed in a pipe-shape in which a return spring 73 and an engaging member 70 which is biased in the projecting direction by the return spring 73 are provided. A roller 78 provided at the top section of the engaging member 70 is caused to mount a mounting section 88 provided on a stand bracket 80 and to selectively engage a second engaging recession 90 or a stand switch 91.
