Abstract
A motorcycle has an article storage box equipped with a lid member which is locked and unlocked and with a fuel tank having a gasoline injection port which is closed or opened by a lid member. The locking and unlocking of the lid members of the storage box and the fuel tank injection port are controlled by an electric circuit system. The electric circuit system includes a battery, a main switch unit operatively connected to the battery, a solenoid switch connected to the main switch unit for carrying out an on-off operation to the lid locking and unlocking mechanism for the fuel tank injection port lid, and a solenoid switch connected to the main switch unit for carrying out an on-off operation to the lid locking and unlocking mechanism for the storage box. The main switch unit includes a plurality of contact points corresponding to a first point of action at which the battery is switched off, a second point of action at which the battery is switched on and at which the lid of the fuel injection port of the fuel tank is unlocked, a third point of action at which the battery is switched on and a current passes to an ignitor and to a lighting unit, and a fourth point of action at whi…
