  • Patent number: 11932226
    Abstract: The present invention obtains a control system and a control method capable of appropriately suppressing rear lift-up of a straddle-type vehicle. In the control system and the control method according to the present invention, damping forces of suspensions and a braking force generated to the straddle-type vehicle are controlled. Braking force adjustment control is executed to adjust the braking force generated to the straddle-type vehicle so as to suppress the rear lift-up that causes a rear wheel of the straddle-type vehicle to lift off from the ground, and initiation timing of the braking force adjustment control is controlled by using a physical quantity to which states of the suspensions are reflected.

  • Publication number: 20220212641
    Abstract: The present invention obtains a control system and a control method capable of appropriately executing slip suppression control for a straddle-type vehicle. In the control system and the control method according to the present invention, a damping characteristic of a suspension is controlled. In addition, a damping force to be generated to the suspension is estimated on the basis of the damping characteristic and a stroke speed of the suspension, and the slip suppression control for suppressing slippage of the straddle-type vehicle is executed by using a target amount corresponding to the estimated damping force.

  • Publication number: 20220194352
    Abstract: The present invention obtains a control system and a control method capable of appropriately suppressing front lift-up of a straddle-type vehicle. In the control system and the control method according to the present invention, damping forces of suspensions and drive power generated to the straddle-type vehicle are controlled. The drive power adjustment control is executed to adjust the drive power generated to the straddle-type vehicle so as to suppress the front lift-up that causes a front wheel of the straddle-type vehicle to lift off from the ground, and initiation timing of the drive power adjustment control is controlled by using a physical quantity to which states of the suspensions are reflected.
