PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase the cooling performance of a cooling pipe and reduce a vehicle width by disposing a vehicle body cover close to the cooling pipe in a straddled vehicle in which the cooling water of a radiator is supplied to a water-cooled engine through the cooling pipe. SOLUTION: The radiator 42 and the water-cooled engine 43 are connected to each other through the metal cooling pipe 28, and the outsides thereof are covered by side cowls 11. A groove part 25 extending in the advancing direction is provided to the side surface of each of the side cowls 11. A recess 26 is provided to the inner intermediate part of the groove part 25 in the longitudinal direction at a position where the cooling pipe 28 is disposed. An opening 27 for cooling pipe is formed at the bottom of the recess 26. A part of the cooling pipe 28 projects from the opening 27 for cooling pipe to the inside of the recess 26 for exposure. Consequently, the cooling performance of the cooling pipe 28 can be increased, and the vehicle width can be reduced by moving the side cowls 11 close to the cooling pipe 28.
