A hollow main frame extends rearwardly from a head pipe. An air cleaner includes a filter element disposed in the main frame forming a dirty side and a clean side. The main frame includes a front opening for introducing intake air. The main frame includes an inner wall surface having a first rib extending peripherally and projecting inwardly into the space in the main frame. A second rib is disposed upstream or downstream of the first rib with respect to an intake air flow and projects inwardly into the space in the main frame. The filter element has an engaging member extending substantially along the inner wall surface and engageable with the second rib. The first rib peripherally surrounds the filter element to provide a division wall with the second rib engaging the filter element to support the filter element.
