Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A speed change controlling apparatus in which the mode of driving force transmission is depends upon the roll angle of a vehicle body. When a roll angle is within a range from a second roll angle, which corresponds to a full bank state, to a first roll angle, speed change operation is carried out by soft speed change control in which variation of the driving force with respect to time is smaller than that by normal speed change control. If the roll angle is within another range from the first roll angle to a third roll angle, then normal speed change is carried out and if the roll angle is within a further range from an uprightly standing state to the third roll angle, then speed change operation is executed by direct speed change. When the roll angle is greater than the second roll angle, speed change is inhibited.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A speed change controlling apparatus for a motorcycle that includes an engine adapted to generate driving force, the speed change controlling apparatus being disposed between said engine and a driving wheel and being adapted to carry out speed change for the generated driving force so as to transmit the resulting driving force to the driving wheel, said speed change controlling apparatus including a roll angle detection device and a control section, said roll…
