  • Publication number: 20230331141
    Abstract: A vehicle having: a vehicle body; a plurality of light-emitting parts; a light source configured to output a laser beam to the light-emitting parts; a fiber optic cable that constitutes a part of a laser beam path, the fiber optic cable having a most upstream branch portion; a single shared laser driver board controlling laser beam source elements in the single light source; and at least one laser light-emission-manner converter, each disposed in, or downstream of, the most upstream branch portion, to thereby cause each light-emitting part downstream from said each light-emission-manner converter to change a light-emission manner thereof. The laser light-emission-manner converter and/or the single shared laser driver board are at least partially disposed in an in-body covered region, which is disposed further downward than, and in a plan view of the vehicle overlaps, any of a fuel tank, a dummy tank, a foot board, and a seat.

  • Publication number: 20230331140
    Abstract: A leaning vehicle or a straddled vehicle, including a vehicle body, a light source unit, a light using device, an optical fiber cable, an electrical power supply unit, a plurality of electrical units, and an electrical cable. The vehicle body includes a seat and a body cover. The optical fiber cable has a supported portion disposed along, and supported by, a trunk portion of the electrical cable, and an upstream portion connecting the light source unit and the supported portion without being supported by the trunk portion. The supported portion and the upstream portion are partially disposed within an in-body covered region, which is at least one of a region closer to a vehicle center than an outermost surface of the body cover is, or a region positioned further in a downward direction than an uppermost portion of the seat is, both being invisible from an outside of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20230331142
    Abstract: A vehicle that is the leaning vehicle or the straddled vehicle includes a fiber optic cable extending from a laser beam source unit to both a forward light-emitting part and a rearward light-emitting part via a forward-rearward branch portion, the fiber optic cable allowing a laser beam emitted from the laser beam source unit to be branched in the forward-rearward branch portion, and then supplied to both the forward light-emitting part and the rearward light-emitting part. A length of the fiber optic cable between the laser beam source unit and the forward-rearward branch portion is shorter than a total length of the fiber optic cable between the forward-rearward branch portion and the forward light-emitting part and between the forward-rearward branch portion and the rearward light-emitting part in a side view of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20230249772
    Abstract: A control device of a leaning vehicle for controlling bright lighting and dim lighting for a plurality of oblique areas. When the leaning vehicle is upright, the control device controls the lighting by designating one or more of the plurality of oblique areas as in a brightly lit area to which adaptive lighting control is applied, and by designating the other oblique areas as in a dim area. The dim area includes an uppermost oblique area. When the leaning vehicle turns left or right, as a lean angle in a direction of the turn increases, the control device controls the lighting by designating a second uppermost oblique area that is located immediately below the uppermost oblique area in the up-down direction as in the brightly lit area, and moving the uppermost oblique area from the dim area to the brightly lit area.

  • Publication number: 20230249771
    Abstract: A headlight device includes a headlight and a control device. The headlight includes a plurality of light sources that is configured to light one or more left oblique areas located in the ahead-driving direction of the leaning vehicle on the left, one or more right oblique areas located in the ahead-driving direction of the leaning vehicle on the right, and one or more lower areas located in the ahead-driving direction of the leaning vehicle. The control device controls the headlight to light at least the left oblique areas and the right oblique areas based on adaptive lighting control. At least one of the left oblique areas and at least one of the right oblique areas that are lit based on the adaptive lighting control spread more outwardly in a left-right direction than any of the lower areas.

  • Publication number: 20140032042
    Abstract: A straddle type vehicle is disclosed that allows the setting of a function selected from a plurality of functions to be changed. The straddle type vehicle includes an operation unit, a display unit and a control unit. The display unit displays information associated with at least one of a plurality of functions each having a changeable setting. The control unit changes the setting of the function indicated by the information displayed on the display unit. The operation unit allows for a select operation and a change operation. The select operation selects at least one of the plurality of functions. The change operation changes the setting of the function indicated by the information displayed on the display unit. The display unit displays information associated with the function selected by the select operation.
