A vehicle meter is provided including a dial 10 and light sources provided on the rear face of the dial. A plurality of characters can be arranged on the dial and can be displayed by transmitting light from the light sources (a plurality of LEDs 25) and formed differently from each other in amount of transmitted light. The characters arranged on the dial may be provided with an increased and decreased amount of transmitted light to improve the visibility of the character intended to be emphasized. This makes it easy to visually recognize the entire string of characters in the vehicle meter.

A booster is constructed with a piezoelectric transducer including a combination of a primary side piezoelectric element and a secondary side piezoelectric element wherein input electrodes and an output electrode are provided in the thickness direction and length direction, respectively. The booster is contained in a plug cap. The plug cap covers one end of a spark plug. Using this arrangement, a primary voltage having a natural resonance frequency of the piezoelectric element or a waveform identical to a component waveform thereof is applied from a primary voltage generator to the input electrodes. At this time, the booster directly imparts a secondary high voltage from the output electrode to the spark plug by the piezoelectric effect, to generate a spark discharge in a discharge gap of the spark plug. This ignition system can be made smaller in size and weight at a low manufacturing cost.

A motorcycle includes a fuel tank mounted on a main frame member, an engine arranged below the main frame member, and ignition coils arranged below the fuel tank. The main frame member includes a pair of sub-frame members arranged in a vehicle-width direction in a spaced-apart manner. A coil-holding structure, formed of a plastic resin material, is disposed on the main frame member for arranging the ignition coils thereon between the pair of sub-frame members. A base portion of the coil-holding structure has one or more openings formed therein so as to expose portions of the ignition coils to a traveling wind, during vehicle operation. One of the ignition coils, which is arranged close to a rear side of a vehicle body, is disposed at a position lower than a position of the ignition coil which is arranged close to a front side of the vehicle body.

A handlebar switch assembly for enhancing operability of a shift-up switch and a shift-down switch separately provided on a switch case. Viewing a switch case from an axis line direction of a handlebar, four zones are defined with the axis line, a rear upper zone and a rear lower zone, both located opposite to an occupant, and a front upper zone and a front lower zone, both located on the vehicle front side. A first shift switch and a second shift switch are swing-type switches in which operating elements swing when a pushing force is applied. The shift-up switch is located in the front lower zone so as to orient one end of its operating element outward in the vehicle transverse direction and the shift-down switch is located in the rear lower zone so as to orient one end of its operating element outward in the vehicle transverse direction.

A headlight case, that houses a light body, is made small in size. The light body includes a reflector, and a lens attached to the reflector. The light body is pivotally supported in the headlight case by bolts extending through a ring member extending around the light body, so that an aiming operation can be performed. The ring member is connected to the light body behind the lens, and is locked to the headlight case at a position spaced away from an open edge thereof. A ring body of the ring member has an outer shape smaller than a maximum outer shape of the light body. A rim, to be fitted around the open end of the headlight case, has a lead that extends toward a position spaced away from the open end of the headlight case, to be fitted into a concave part of the headlight case.

An engine starting apparatus with an antitheft function enables rapid and secure starting of a kick-started engine. The engine starting apparatus includes an immobilizer CPU and an ignition CPU, which cooperate to enable authorized engine startup and to prevent unauthorized access. The immobilizer CPU outputs a permission signal if an authentication code from the outside corresponds to a reference code in a vehicle, but outputs an inhibition signal if the authentication code and the reference code fail to correspond. When a starting pedal is kicked, the ignition CPU begins to energize the engine's ignition system, in response to a predetermined engine starting instruction, before the input reference code is verified. If proper authentication is verified by the permission signal, the ignition CPU continues to allow normal engine starting procedure. If the inhibition signal is received from the immobilizer CPU, the ignition CPU interrupts the normal procedure and inhibits engine starting.
