Balancing support system for a saddle-ride type motor vehicle

A method of operation of a balancing support system to assist a rider by balancing a saddle ride-type motor vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:

• receiving information from a plurality of sensors corresponding to dynamic conditions of the motor vehicle;
• calculating, based on information received for the plurality of sensors, an estimated steering angle and an estimated steering torque continuously;
• comparing the estimated steering angle with an actual steering angle applied by the rider;
• estimating a mean of the actual steering angle over a pre-determined time and comparing the estimated mean with a first pre-determined value;
• identifying a vehicle running condition based on at least one of the estimated mean of the actual steering angle, and an instantaneous differential between the actual steering angle and the estimated steering angle;
• calculating a balancing actuator angle and a corresponding balancing support torque;
• and
• triggering an actuator unit coupled to a torque enhancer unit in order to deliver the balancing support torque to drive a steering shaft of the motor vehicle.
