STRADDLE TYPE VEHICLE AND CONTROL DEVICE

Abstract:

A straddle type vehicle comprises a steering mechanism configured to steer a front wheel; a steering damper device capable of variably generating a damping force working on a rotating action of the steering mechanism; and a control unit configured to control the damping force of the steering damper device. The control unit controls the damping force, based on a change amount per unit time of steering torque generated in the steering mechanism and a deceleration of the front wheel.
