ABSTRACT:
An internal combustion engine and a transmission are supported by a saddle-ride type vehicle body having a front wheel in a front portion thereof. An oil cooler is installed without interference with other parts such as, for example, an exhaust pipe and the front wheel. Further, the distance between a water pump and the oil cooler is made shorter to shorten the length of a cooling water pipe. The power unit includes a crank shaft, an output shaft disposed in a rear portion of the power unit to output torque produced by the crank shaft to the exterior through a transmission, a water pump is adapted to be rotated with the torque transferred thereto from the crank shaft, and an oil cooler mounted on a rear surface of the power unit in a vehicle advancing direction below the output shaft and at a position lower than the crank shaft.
