Steering damper control apparatus, and a saddle riding type vehicle having the same

摘要

A steering damper control apparatus includes an MR damper having an adjustable steering damping force, a suspension pressure sensor that detects a pressure of a front suspension, a command value output unit that determines a damping force command value according to a pressure change rate of the front suspension based on a detection result of the suspension pressure sensor, and a damper driver that causes the MR damper to generate a damping force corresponding to the damping force command value. At a point of time when steering becomes easily shakable, the damping force corresponding to the damping force command value is generated to prevent shaking of the steering beforehand.

1. A steering damper control apparatus comprising:
a damper having an adjustable steering damping force; a load information detecting unit that detects information relating to a load acting upward on a front wheel; a command value output unit that determines a damping force command value according to a rate of change of the load acting upward on the front wheel or a value corresponding to the rate of change based on a detection result of the load information detecting unit; and a damper driver that causes the damper to generate a damping force according to the damping force command value.
