[Object] When a plurality of functions converge into an air cleaner of a scooter type vehicle, an air cleaner structure enables a
reduction in length of piping to an internal combustion engine and the like without degradation in performance of filtering, air
suction and the like. [Constitution] In the air cleaner structure, an air cleaner 6 for a scooter type vehicle 1, being mounted on a
power unit 5, an air cleaner case 60 is formed in a shape elongated from a side of the internal combustion engine 2 toward a side
of the rear wheel, an intake-air outlet passage 100 connected to an upstream end 24a of a connecting tube 24 is formed forward in
the front of the air cleaner case, a filter member 76 is placed in the rear of the intake-air outlet passage in the air cleaner case, and
a blowby gas return passage 102 connected to a blowby gas return pipe 112 of the internal combustion engine, and another
passage 103 are juxtaposed with each other in a vertical direction and formed forward around the intake-air outlet passage in the
front of the air cleaner case such that the blowby gas return passage is located below another passage
