- the exhaust gas sensor is protected from being hit by the exhaust gas sensor (Patent Document 1).
- the exhaust gas sensor located downstream of the catalyst device is attached to the exhaust pipe near the muffler, away from the internal combustion engine, and the exhaust gas sensor is activated when the internal combustion engine is started.

- the notch 57e is provided with an inclined portion 57f that is obliquely inclined toward the back so that the opening gradually widens. This prevents the exhaust gas sensor 54 from hitting the fan cover 57 and making it difficult to remove when the fan cover 57 is removed from the vehicle. Since the exhaust gas sensor 54 becomes hot, the fan cover 57 is disposed at a distance of about 10 mm from the exhaust gas sensor 54.
- FIG. 8 is a partially cutaway view of the eaves portion 57d of the fan cover 57 so that the exhaust gas sensor 54 attached to the downstream exhaust pipe 51b can be seen.

Further, by disposing the exhaust gas sensor 54 provided in the downstream exhaust pipe 51b at a position immediately after the catalyst device 53 on the upstream side of the exhaust flow of the downstream exhaust pipe 51b, the exhaust gas sensor 54 and the muffler 52 are Since the distance of the atmosphere opening port 52a becomes longer, when the inside of the exhaust pipe 51 becomes negative pressure, the effect of turbulence of the exhaust gas in the pipe due to the outside air flowing in from the atmosphere opening port 52a is reduced, and the exhaust gas sensor 54 is Accuracy can be improved.
- the exhaust gas sensor 54 overlaps with the lower side cover 1c that covers the lower part of the vehicle when viewed from the side of the vehicle, so the side surface of the exhaust gas sensor 54 is covered by the lower side cover 1c, so that the exhaust gas sensor 54 is placed on the outside of the crankcase 22 in the vehicle width direction. Even if the exhaust gas sensor 54 is placed in the exhaust pipe 51 located in the exhaust pipe 51, it is possible to prevent the exhaust gas sensor 54 from being directly hit by the driving wind and prevent the exhaust gas sensor 54 from being cooled down rapidly, thereby preventing a decrease in detection accuracy. .
- the fan cover 57 has an eaves portion 57d that covers the downstream exhaust pipe 51b, it is possible to protect the occupants from the exhaust pipe 51 which is heated to a high temperature due to exhaust heat, and also to prevent the occupant's clothes from being heated. It is possible to prevent this from hitting the exhaust pipe 51.
- the eaves portion 57d of the fan cover 57 has a notch portion 57e that opens in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and since the notch portion 57e and the exhaust gas sensor 54 overlap when viewed from the side of the vehicle, the eaves portion of the fan cover 57
