Abstract
A saddle-riding vehicle includes a front wheel suspension device which supports a steering wheel (front wheel) and a steering handle (bar handle 4), a chassis frame which supports the front wheel suspension device to be steerable, a handle lock mechanism 60 which locks the steering of the front wheel suspension device with respect to the chassis frame at a predetermined handle lock position P1, a steering actuator 43 which applies an assist torque to the front wheel suspension device, and a control device 23 which controls the driving of the steering actuator 43. The control device 23 operates the steering actuator 43 so that the front wheel suspension device is turned to the handle lock position P1 when detecting a predetermined lock standby state.
Claims6
