STRADDLED VEHICLE
DRIVE
September 6, 2023
Provided is a straddled vehicle capable of reducing shock to the vehicle resulting from backlash between power transmission members thereof when the vehicle changes from a decelerating state to an accelerating state, with a change in state of a braking device. The straddled vehicle includes a vehicle wheel, a vehicle body, a power source, a power transmission path, and a braking device. The power transmission path includes a first power transmission member and a second power transmission member that transmit power when in engagement with each other. The control device controls at least the power source to prevent the first power transmission member and the second power transmission member from being in a deceleration position during a period from a point before a switching time until a point after the switching time. The switching time is a time when the straddled vehicle is switched from a state in which the straddled vehicle is decelerating because of operation of the braking device to a state in which the straddled vehicle is accelerating using a torque being outputted from the power source along with the operation of the braking device being discontinued.
