Abstract
A straddled vehicle includes a vehicle body frame supporting a front wheel and a rear wheel, a seat fixed to the vehicle body frame, an engine, a fuel tank, and a canister to adsorb vaporized gas generated by evaporation of a fuel inside the fuel tank. The engine includes a crankshaft that rotates around a crank axis extending in the left-right direction and located lower than the seat. The fuel tank is located farther forward than the seat and higher than the engine. The canister is connected to the fuel tank through a gas pipe. The canister is located farther forward than the crank axis and lower than the fuel tank.
