SHIFT CONTROL DEVICE FOR SADDLE-RIDING-TYPE VEHICLE, AND SADDLE-RIDING-TYPE VEHICLE

摘要

[Problem to be Solved] To provide an easy-to-maintain shift control device for a straddle-type vehicle utilizing an existing structure. [Solution] A transmission mechanism 10 is interposed between a shift actuator and a shift shaft. The mechanism 10 includes: a first coupling part 11a and a second coupling part 11b coupled for movement relative to each other; an urging means 12 for urging the first and second coupling parts 11a, 11b toward a neutral position; and a stopper mechanism 13 for stopping the relative movement of the first or second coupling part when the first or second coupling part is moved relatively from the neutral position against urging force of the urging means. When the shift actuator is stroked by a predetermined amount, a dog is compulsorily disengaged as the first and second coupling parts 11a, 11b are moved together by means of the stopper mechanism 13, and engaged as the first or second coupling part 11a, 11b is moved relatively against the urging force of the urging means 12. This allows smooth shift change.
