Patent ID: 8789633

Claim:
A vehicle extending along a longitudinal axis between a front end and a rear end, the vehicle comprising: a frame; a steering assembly pivotally coupled to the frame; an engine supported by the frame; a seat supported by the frame rearwardly of the steering assembly and overlying at least a portion of the engine; an intake assembly comprising: a snorkel comprising: an inlet port having a neck portion that defines an opening; and an outlet port in fluid communication with the engine; and a cover member in fluid communication with the inlet port of the snorkel; at least two electrical conductors; and an electrical coupler engaged with each of the at least two electrical conductors and configured to facilitate selective manual electrical disconnection of the at least two electrical conductors; wherein: a first imaginary plane intersects the opening of the inlet port and is substantially horizontal; a second imaginary plane extends laterally across the vehicle, intersects the opening of the inlet port, and intersects the first imaginary plane at a right angle; the electrical coupler is disposed entirely above the first imaginary plane and entirely forwardly of the second imaginary plane; and the first imaginary plane and the second imaginary plane intersect at an imaginary line, a third imaginary plane intersects each of the first imaginary plane and the second imaginary plane such that the imaginary line resides entirely within the third imaginary plane, the third imaginary plane is angled from the first imaginary plane by an angle of between about 20 degrees and about 30 degrees, and the electrical coupler is disposed entirely above the third imaginary plane.
