STRADDLED VEHICLE

The present teaching provides a straddled vehicle capable of adjusting a shock on the straddled vehicle resulting from backlash between power transmission members thereof and accompanying an acceleration or a deceleration to a magnitude suitable for a running condition thereof. The straddled vehicle includes a power source, a driven member, a power transmission path, and a control device. The power transmission path includes a first power transmission member and a second power transmission member. The control device has an acquisition unit and a control unit. The acquisition unit acquires at least one parameter indicating a degree of a vehicle behavior change being feasible due to an increase or a decrease in torque from the power source, or a running condition of the straddled vehicle that is likely to generate an acceleration or a deceleration. The control unit performs, in a torque change period, a change process to change the torque being outputted from the power source, based on the at least one parameter. The torque change period includes at least a part of a non-transmission period from when the first and second power transmission members have been switched from a transmission state to a non-transmission state with an acceleration or a deceleration of the straddled vehicle until when the first and second power transmission members have been switched from the non-transmission state to the transmission state.
