Saddled vehicle

A saddled vehicle comprising:

• a center stand that retains a vehicle body upright with a rear wheel lifted off a ground surface;
• a swingarm that pivotally holds the rear wheel and is swingably held on the vehicle body by a swingarm pivot;
• and
• a rear suspension that suspends the swingarm from the vehicle body,
• wherein the rear suspension has its total length varied by drive of an actuator, the saddled vehicle further comprising a controller that controls the actuator,
• wherein when the controller expands the rear suspension to a predetermined length according to an operation on an actuation switch, the swingarm swings downward to reach a position where the center stand will not touch the ground surface even if the center stand is unfolded to a fully unfolded position,
• wherein unfolding the center stand with the swingarm swung downward and then letting the rear suspension recover its original length lifts the rear wheel off the ground surface to complete setting up the center stand, and
• wherein the controller makes an output signal of the actuation switch valid only when an ignition switch of the saddled vehicle is being turned off.

• wherein the rear suspension has its total length varied by drive of an actuator,
• wherein the rear suspension includes the actuator that adjusts a length of the rear suspension,
• wherein the saddled vehicle further comprising a controller that controls the actuator,
• wherein, when the controller expands the rear suspension to a predetermined length according to an operation on an actuation switch, the swingarm swings downward to reach a position where the center stand will not touch the ground surface even if the center stand is unfolded to a fully unfolded position,
• wherein unfolding the center stand with the swingarm swung downward and then letting the rear suspension recover its original length lifts the rear wheel off the ground surface to complete setting up the center stand,
• wherein the actuator has a motor and a first gear, and
• wherein the rear suspension has a second gear driven by the first gear.
