Shift control system for saddle-type vehicle

A shift control system for a saddle-type vehicle comprising:

• a gear shift lever configured to be operated by a driver;
• a gearshift sensor configured to detect an operation on the gear shift lever;
• a shift cam configured to rotate according to the operation on the gear shift lever;
• a gear position sensor configured to detect a rotation angle of the shift cam;
• a control device configured to control an output of an engine on the basis of detection results of the gearshift sensor and the gear position sensor;
• a shift fork configured to engage with a lead groove formed in the shift cam and shift according to a position of the lead groove;
• and
• a positioning mechanism configured to determine a position of the shift cam in a rotation direction of the shift cam by a predetermined biasing force;
• wherein in the case where the gearshift sensor does not detect a detection result according to a detection result of the gear position sensor, or in the case where the gear position sensor does not detect a detection result according to a detection result of the gearshift sensor, the control device determines abnormality occurrence, and stops engine operation control based on the detection results of the gearshift sensor and the gear position sensor on the basis of the abnormality occurrence,
• wherein the lead groove has a shift section for shifting the shift fork and a maintaining section for preventing the shift fork from shifting, according to rotation of the shift cam,
• wherein the positioning mechanism determines the position of the shift cam in the rotation direction by the biasing force, in a state where the shift fork is engaged with a center part of the maintaining section in an extension direction of the maintaining section, and
• wherein when the shift fork is engaged with the maintaining section, the gearshift sensor does not detect the operation on the gear shift lever as a transmission shift operation.
