[0039] When the engine E is driven at low speed, centrifugal force that acts on the centrifugal weight 75 of the driving pulley 70 is small, therefore, groove width between the pulley half 77 on the fixed side and the pulley half 78 on the movable side is reduced by the spring 79 of the driven pulley 71, and the gear ratio is at a low level. When the number of revolutions of the crankshaft 34 is increased from this condition, centrifugal force that acts on the centrifugal weight 75 increases, groove width between the pulley half 73 on the fixed side and the pulley half 74 on the movable side respectively of the driving pulley 70 decreases, and as the groove width between the pulley half 77 on the fixed side and the pulley half 78 on the movable side respectively of the driven pulley 71 is accordingly increased, the gear ratio continuously changes from the low level to a top level, [0040] A kick shaft 83 having a parallel axis to the crankshaft 34 is rotatably supported by the case main body 61 and a left cover 62 in an intermediate part in a longitudinal direction of the transmission case 22 and a kick pedal 84 is fixed to an end protruded from the left cover 62 of the kick shaft 83, In addition, a return spring 85 is provided between the kick shaft 83 and the case main body 61.

[0056] Also referring to Fig. 8, a thermostat case 134 housing the thermostat 127 inside is fastened and fixed to the pump cover 130 of the pump case 129 so that the thermostat case is separated in a longitudinal direction (backward in this embodiment) from an axis of the pump shaft 131 and is overlapped with the pump case 128 in the longitudinal direction, and an axis of the thermostat case 134 is inclined so that the axis on the upside is located more outside. [0057] A water supply pipe 137 extended upward is integrated with the rear of the upper tank 100 of the radiator 96 and a cap 138 openable by turning is installed at an upper end of the water supply pipe 137, An inlet pipe 139 having an axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the body frame F is provided to an intermediate part of the water supply pipe 137 at the back of the supporting shaft 43 with the inlet pipe located on the upside of the supporting shaft 43 in a side view. In the meantime, a leading-out pipe 140 for leading out cooling water from an uppermost end of the water jacket 125 is provided to the cylinder head 37 of the engine main unit 33 with the leading-out pipe located on the downside of the inlet pipe 139 in a side view, the leading-out pipe 140 and the inlet pipe 139 are coupled via a first conduit 141 which is a rubber hose, the first conduit 141 is extended to be higher from the leading-out pipe 140 toward the inlet pipe 139, and is laid so that the first conduit passes the upside of the supporting shaft 43 in a side view. [0058] A flat reinforcing plate 142 is provided between the front of the upper tank 100 and the inlet pipe 139, and a circular opening 143 into which the supporting shaft 43 can be inserted is provided to the reinforcing plate 142 with one end of the supporting shaft 43 opposite in a side view in a state in which the engine main unit 33 is supported by the body frame F via the supporting shaft 43. [0059] A branch connecting pipe 144 is provided to an intermediate part of the leading-out pipe 140. In the meantime, a water jacket-side connecting pipe 145 is protruded inward and diagonally upward from an upper part of the thermostat case 134 the axis of which is inclined so that the axis on the upside is located more outside, and the branch connecting pipe 144 and the water jacket-side connecting pipe 145 are coupled via a se.cond conduit 146 such as a rubber hose for leading cooling water from the water jacket 125 to the side of the thermostat 127, [0060] An outlet pipe 147 is protruded forward from the lower part of the lower tank 101 of the radiator 96 and a radiator-side connecting pipe 148 is protruded outward and diagonally downward from a lower part of the thermostat case 134, The outlet pipe 147 and the radiator-side connecting pipe 148 are coupled via a third conduit 149 such as a rubber hose for leading cooling water from the radiator 96. [0061] One end of a fourth conduit 150 such as a rubber hose for leading cooling water from the water pump 126 is connected to a discharge pipe 151 provided to the pump case 128 and the other end of the fourth conduit 150 is connected to an inlet pipe 152 provided, to the cylinder block 36 so that the other end communicates with a lower part of the water jacket 125. [0062] A conduit for air bleeding 153 for bleeding air from an upper part of the pump room 132 in the pump case 128 is connected to an upper part of the pump case 128. [0063] Further, a connecting pipe 154 for connecting a rubber hose is provided to the water supply pipe 137 and is connected to a reservoir (not shown) open to the atmosphere and arranged separately from the radiator 96. When cooling water in the radiator 96 is turned high temperature and is expanded, extra cooling water flows into the reservoir and when the cooling water in the radiator 96 is turned low temperature, the cooling water is returned from the reservoir into the radiator 96. Air accumulated in the water supply pipe 137 is exhausted into the reservoir by the above-mentioned flow of cooling water between the radiator 96 and the reservoir, That is^ when the engine E is operated, air bleeding from the cooling system is also performed satisfactorily. [0064] In such a cooling system, when the warming up of the engine E is completed, cooling water discharged from the water pump 126 driven by the camshaft 50 is supplied to the water jacket 125 in the engine main unit 33 through the fourth conduit 150 and after the cooling water cools the engine E while it passes the water jacket 125, it is supplied to the upper tank 100 of the radiator 96 via the first conduit 141. The cooling water the temperature of which lowers while it flows from the upper tank 100 into the lower tank 101 via the cooling core 102 and passes the radiator 96 is returned to the suction opening 135 of the water pump 126 via the third conduit 149 and the thermostat 127. In the meantime, when the engine E is in warming up and the temperature of cooling water is low, the thermostat 127 is operated to circulate the cooling water without passing the radiator 96, the cooling water flows from the water jacket 125 into the water pump 126 via the second conduit 146 and the thermostat 127 without passing the radiator 96, and the temperature promptly rises. [0065] As shown in Figs, 3 and 5, a position regulator 99a that blocks the turning to a released position of the cap 138 is integrated with the radiator cover 99 with the position regulator covering the cap 138. In addition, a cutout 155 via which a part of the cap 186 is opposite to the outside is provided to the position regulator 99a. [0066] Next, to explain the action of this embodiment, the radiator 96 is arranged on the side of the crankcase 21, the cooling fan 97 that sucks cooling wind to pass the cooling water in the radiator 96 is attached to one end of the crankshaft 34 and is arranged inside the radiator 96, the shroud 98 that is provided with the exhaust port lOB in the lower part and covers the cooling fan 97 from the side is provided between the radiator 96 and the supporting case 4Ga in the right case half 40 of the crankcase 21, and the current plate 122 for preventing cooling wind from the cooling fan 97 from flowing on the side of the crankcase 21 in the part corresponding to the exhaust port 108 is fixed not to the side of the exhaust port 108 and the cooling fan 97 but to the side of the crankcase 21, [0067] Therefore, as cooling wind sucked by the cooling fan 97 and passing the radiator 96 is prevented from flowing from the cooling fan 97 to the side of the crankcase 21 in the vicinity of the exhaust port 108 of the shroud 98 by the current plate 122 and smoothly flows into the exhaust port 108, the cooling efficiency of the radiator 96 can be enhanced. [0068] As the current plate 122 is attached to the shroud 98 and the shroud 98 to which the current plate 122 is attached can be attached to the crankcase 21, the current plate 122 never obstructs when the cooling fan 97 is attached to the crankshaft 34, compared with a case that the current plate 122 is attached to the crankcase 21 and ease of assembly can be enhanced. [0069] In addition, as the current plate 122 is formed in the shape of the circular arc along the rotational locus of the outermost end in the radial direction of the cooling fan 97 in the side view^ a flow of cooling wind from the cooling fan 97 to the side of the crankcase 21 can be more effectively blocked. [0070] Further, as the generator 95 is arranged between the cooling fan 97 and the crankcase 21 and the turned part 122a extended from the inner end of the current plate 122 to the side of the crankcase 21 is integrated with the current plate 122 arranged outside the generator 95, cooling wind can more smoothly flow on the side of the exhaust port 108 without causing turbulence in a small quantity of cooling wind that flows between the generator 95 and the current plate 122 by making the turned part 122a opposite to the periphery of the generator 95. [0071] Besides, the leading-out pipe 140 provided to the cylinder head 37 of the engine main unit 33 for leading out cooling water from the uppermost part of the water jacket 125 of the engine main unit 33 and the inlet pipe 139 provided to the upper tank 100 of the radiator 96 on the upside of the supporting shaft 43 for rockably supporting the power unit P including the engine main unit 33 by the body frame F are coupled via the first conduit 141 that passes the upside of the supporting shaft 43 in the side view to be higher from the leading-out pipe 140 to the side of the inlet pipe 139. [0072] Therefore, air in the water jacket 125 is led on the side of the radiator 96 via the first conduit 141, no conduit dedicated to air bleeding is required, interference between the first conduit 141 and the supporting shaft 43 can be avoided, the number of parts is reduced, and a conduit layout around the radiator 96 can be simplified. [0073] In addition, as the supporting shaft 43 is arranged at the back of the front end of the radiator 96, the inclination of the first conduit 141 is inhibited and the length of the first conduit 141 can be reduced. [0074] Besides, as the opening 143 into which the supporting shaft 43 can be inserted is provided to the radiator 96 with one end of the supporting shaft 43 opposite to the opening in the side view in the state in which the engine main unit 33 is supported by the body frame F via the supporting shaft 43, the radiator 96 is not required to be arranged in a position that does not obstruct work for inserting the supporting shaft 43 when the engine main unit 33 to the crankcase 21 of which the radiator 96 is attached is mounted on the body frame F, the radiator 96 can be arranged in an optimum position, and a degree of freedom in the layout can be enhanced. [0075] Besides, as the inlet pipe 139 is provided to the upper tank 100 of the radiator 96 with the inlet pipe having an axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the body frame F and located on the upside of the supporting shaft 43 in the side view, an overhang in front of the inlet pipe 139 from the radiator 96 is inhibited and the whole radiator 96 can be compacted. [0076] Besides, as the thermostat 127 provided with the thermostat case 134 the axis of which is inclined so that the upside is located more outside is arranged in front of the radiator 96, the water jacket-side connecting pipe 145 for connecting the second conduit 146 for leading cooling water from the water jacket 125 is protruded inward and diagonally upward from the upper part of the thermostat case 134 and the radiator-sids connecting pipe 148 for connecting the third conduit 149 for leading cooling water from the radiator 96 is protruded outward and diagonally downward from the lower part of the thermostat case 134, the space for which the thermostat 127 accounts in the lateral direction of the body frame F is reduced, the thermostat 127 can be compacted, and in addition, the length of the second conduit 146 connected to the water jacket-side connecting pipe 145 for leading cooling water from the water jacket 125 and the length of the third conduit 149 connected to the radiator-side connecting pipe 148 for leading cooling water from the radiator 96 can be possibly reduced, [0077] The water pump 126 is attached to the outer side of the cylinder head 37 of the engine main unit 33 with the pump shaft 131 extended in the lateral direction of the body frame F, as the thermostat case 134 is fixed to the pump case 128 of the water pump 126 with the thermostat case separated from the axis of the pump shaft 131 in the longitudinal direction and with the thermostat case overlapped with the pump case 128 in the longitudinal direction, the conduits 141, ],46, 149, 150 related to the water pump 126 and the thermostat 127 can be laid out compactly in the lateral direction of the body frame F.

[0103] Next, to explain the action of this embodiment, the flow control valve 218 is provided to the fresh air intake pipe 217 for conducting fresh air from the outside of the engine main unit 33, for example, from the air cleaner 58 so as to control a flow rate of fresh air in the fresh air intake pipe 217, the reed valve 219 for taking fresh air in the crank chamber 215 by negative pressure in the crank chamber 215 in the crankcase 21 and preventing reflux from the crank chamber 215 to the side of the fresh air intake pipe 217 is connected to the downstream end of the fresh air intake pipe 217, the reed valve 219 is attached to the outside face of the cylinder block 36 on the reverse side to the chain passage 51 in the axial direction of the crankshaft 34, and the flow control valve 218 is arranged on the upside of the reed valve 219 in the side view. [0104] Therefore, not only the working of the installation seat 230 for the reed valve for attaching the reed valve 219 to the cylinder block 36 can be simplified but the flow control valve 218 can be arranged in vacant space on the upside of the cylinder block 36, enhancing a degree of freedom in the arrangement. Therefore, the ease of assembly of the flow control valve 218 is enhanced and the connection of piping to the flow control valve 218 is also facilitated. As the reed valve 219 is attached to the outside face of the cylinder block 35, the communicating passage 236 connecting the crank chamber 215 and the reed valve 219 is formed in the cylinder block 36 and the crankcase 21 and oil in the crank chamber 215 can be prevented from directly adhering to the reed valve 219. [0105] Besides, the engine main unit 33 is mounted on the body frame F with the cylinder axis C inclined so that the front is higher, the communicating passage 236 for conducting air from the reed valve 219 to the crank chamber 215 is open to the crank chamber 215 on the downside of the cylinder axis C in the side view, as the rotational direction 237 of the crankshaft 34 when the vehicle advances is set in the part corresponding to the opening to the crank chamber 215 of the communicating passage 236 so that the rotational direction is downward, the communicating passage 236 is open to the crank chamber 215 in the location in which a splash of oil by the rotation of the crankshaft 34 is hardly dispersed, and the penetration of oil in the communicating passage 236 can be effectively inhibited. [0106] Besides, as the supporting shaft 43 for rockably supporting the engine main unit 33 by the body frame F is arranged close to the flow control valve 218 at the back of the flow control valve, the supporting shaft 43 is arranged on the upside of the crankcase 21, the whole power unit P including the engine E can be compacted, and in addition, the fluctuation of the flow control valve 218 can be possibly inhibited. [0107] Further, as the ignition coil 240 is attached to the stay 239 fastened to the cylinder block 36 jointly with the valve cover 231 forming a part of the reed valve 219, the ignition coil 240 is arranged in vacant space close to the ignition plug 241, and the efficient arrangement of the ignition coil 240 is enabled. [0108] Besides, as the outside air intake duct 90 for taking cooling wind in the transmission case 22 housing the belt type continuously variable transmission 64 and extended backward is linked with the transmission case 22^ the rear of the outside air intake duct 90 extended forward and upward from the front of the transmission case 22 is linked with the front of the transmission case 22, the outside air inlet 261 for taking air from the outside is provided to the part close to the transmission case 22 of the outside air intake duct 90 and the U-shaped air passage 262 from the outside air inlet 261 to the transmission case 22 provided with the first passage part 262a extended forward and diagonally upward from the outside air inlet 261 and the second passage part 262b extended backward from the front end of the first passage part 262a toward the side of the transmission case 22 is formed in the outside air intake duct 90, the length of the air passage 262 having labyrinth structure in the outside air intake duct 90 can be set to be long, and dust-proof and water-proof properties can be enhanced. In addition, as the outside air intake duct 90 is extended forward and upward from the front of the transmission case 22 and is linked with the front of the transmission case 22, water can be possibly prevented from flowing from the outside air intake duct 90 into the transmission case 22 when the transmission case 22 is flooded. [0109] Besides, as the outside air inlet 261 is provided to the side on the reverse side to the engine main unit 33 of the outside air intake duct 90, the effect of heat radiation from the engine main unit 33 is reduced and outside air the temperature of which is low can be effectively taken, in addition, as the air passage 262 in the outside air intake duct 90 has the U-shaped labyrinth structure, :mud and water can be prevented from penetrating into the transmission case 22 even if the outside air inlet 262 is open outside the motorcycle. [0110] Besides, as the outside air intake duct 90 is arranged so that the outside air intake duct hides the flow control valve 218 and the reed valve 219 respectively provided to the engine main unit 33 from the side, not only the appearance seems good but the flow control valve 218 and the reed valve 219 can be protected from mud and water. [0111] Further, as the connection of the first and second passage parts 262a, 262b, that is, the third passage part 262c is arranged on the upside of the cylinder block 36 in the side view, the penetration of a foreign matter into the transmission case 22 can be effectively prevented even if the foreign matter such as mud and water penetrates the outside air intake duct 90, [0112] The embodiments of the invention have been described above, however, the invention is not limited to the embodiments and various design changes without deviating from the invention disclosed in the scope of the claims are allowed. [0113] For example, in the embodiment, the case applied to the scooter type motorcycle is described, however, the invention can be also applied to another small-sized vehicle such as a three-wheeled vehicle.
