摘要

The present invention proposes a structure for disposing a clutch control apparatus in a power unit for a saddle-ride type vehicle, comprising: an engine (E) comprising an engine main body (33); a crankcase (35) forming a part of the engine main body (33); a crankshaft (36) rotatably supported by the crankcase (35) ; a clutch cover (92) coupled to a side surface of the crankcase (35) ; a clutch apparatus (102) disposed in the power transmission path from the crankshaft (36) to the drive wheel (WR) so as to engage and to disengage the transmission of torque of the crankshaft (36) to a drive wheel (WR) ; a clutch chamber (91) in which the clutch apparatus (102) is installed and which is formed between the crankcase (35) and the clutch cover (92) ; a cylinder block (38F) also forming a part of the engine main body (33) together with the crankcase (35) and coupled to the crankcase (35); a cylinder bore (42) included in the cylinder block (38F); a piston (43) slidably fitted into the cylinder bore (42) and linked to the crankshaft (36) ; and a clutch control apparatus (220) which controls the switching of the connection and disconnection actions of the clutch apparatus (102) and which is attached to the outer surface of the clutch cover (92) in a position at a side of the cylinder block (38F).
