Abstract: To provide a saddled vehicle whose center stand is set up with ease in a simplified structure. A saddled vehicle includes: a center stand that retains a vehicle body upright with a rear wheel lifted off a ground surface; a swingarm that pivotally holds the rear wheel and is swingably held on the vehicle body by a swingarm pivot; a rear suspension that suspends the swingarm from the vehicle body, the rear suspension having its expansion-side damping force varied by drive of an actuator; and a controller that controls the actuator. The controller minimizes the expansion-side damping force of the rear suspension according to an operation on an actuation switch.

Abstract: The main step structure for the saddle riding vehicle includes a fixing member, a step pin, a main step, and a biasing member that biases the main step in a developing direction. The main step structure includes an operating member supported to be rotatable relative to the main step. The operating member is provided with a contact section that makes contact with the fixing member. An engaging mechanism that can switch between an engaged state and a disengaged state of the main step and the operating member is provided. In the case where the main step is moved to an accommodated position and the operating member is made to make contact with the fixing member, the engaging mechanism puts the main step and the operating member into an engaged state.

Abstract: To provide a saddled vehicle whose center stand is set up with ease in a simplified structure. A rear suspension suspending a swingarm from a vehicle body has its total length varied by the drive of an actuator. A controller that controls the actuator is provided. By the controller expanding the rear suspension to a predetermined length according to an operation on an actuation switch, the swingarm swings downward to reach a position where a center stand will not touch a ground surface even if the center stand is unfolded to a fully unfolded position. Unfolding the center stand with the swingarm swung downward and then letting the rear suspension recover its original length lifts the rear wheel off the ground surface to complete setting up the center stand.
