A power unit P of a saddle-type vehicle has a main stand 30, a transmission case 21T extending rearward from a crankcase 21c that bears a crankshaft 20 in vehicle-width direction in an internal combustion engine E forming the power unit P, and a transmission case cover 60 defining a belt chamber 55, made of a metal and covering the outer lateral side of the transmission case 21T in the vehicle-width direction. A cooling wind inlet 61 is provided at a front part of the transmission case cover 60, and a wind-guide duct cover 80 covers at least the front part including the cooling wind inlet 61 from outside with respect to the vehicle-width direction, so as to guide external air into the cooling wind inlet 61. A duct cover rear part 80r on the rear side of this wind-guide duct cover 80 is extended to the rear beyond a main stand operation part 33 in a retracted state of the main stand 30. The transmission case cover is exposed to keep a cooling effect for the belt chamber by vehicle travel wind, and scratching of a painted surface of the transmission case cover accompanying erection operation of the main stand is suppressed.
