Abstract
To provide a reservoir tank for a radiator of a water-cooled saddle-type vehicle which ensures an improved degree of freedom in setting the shape and mounting position of the reservoir tank. A reservoir tank for a radiator of a saddle-type vehicle includes a water reservoir section located beneath the rear part of a seat rail, for reserving the cooling water, and a water supply section extending upwardly from the water reservoir section. The reservoir tank includes a major portion of the water reservoir section located further toward an inside the vehicle than on the seat rail, and the water supply section extends upwardly from the side of the water reservoir section toward the outside of the seat rail.

A reservoir tank for a radiator of a water-cooled saddle-type vehicle having a rear fender, comprising:
- a water reservoir section locatable beneath a rear part of a seat rail of the saddle-type vehicle, said water reservoir section for reserving cooling water;
- and
- a water supply section extending above said water reservoir section, said water supply section being protrudable through the rear fender to an upper surface of the rear fender,
- wherein a capacity of a portion of said water reservoir section on an inside side of the seat rail of the vehicle is larger than a capacity of a portion of said water reservoir section located on an outside side of the seat rail of the vehicle, and said water supply section extends upward from an outside side of said water reservoir section outwardly of the vehicle.
A water-cooled saddle-type vehicle, comprising:
- a vehicle frame;
- a seat rail extending from a rear portion of said vehicle frame;
- a radiator;
- and
- a reservoir tank, said reservoir tank being connected to said radiator and including:
- a water reservoir section located beneath a rear part of said seat rail, said water reservoir section for reserving cooling water;
- and
- a water supply section extending above said water reservoir section, said water supply section being protrudable through a rear fender of the vehicle to an upper surface of the rear fender,
- wherein a capacity of a portion of said water reservoir section on an inside side of said seat rail is larger than a capacity of a portion of said water reservoir section located on an outside side of said seat rail and said water supply section extends upward from an outside side of said water reservoir section outwardly of the vehicle.
A water-cooled saddle-type vehicle, comprising:
- a vehicle frame;
- a seat rail and a seat rail stay extending from a rear portion of said vehicle frame;
- a radiator;
- and
- a reservoir tank, said reservoir tank being connected to said radiator and including:
- a water reservoir section located beneath a rear part of said seat rail, said water reservoir section for reserving cooling water;
- and
- a water supply section extending above said water reservoir section to a position outside of said seat rail stay,
- wherein a lowest most portion of the water reservoir section is disposed entirely inside said seat rail stay,
- wherein a capacity of a portion of said water reservoir section on an inside side of said seat rail stay is larger than a capacity of a portion of said water reservoir section located on an outside side of said seat rail stay.
