Approach notification device of straddle type vehicle

An approach notification device of a straddle type vehicle comprising:

• an obstacle detection device that detects an obstacle located around the vehicle;
• an approach determination device that detects an approaching state that the obstacle is located within a predetermined distance from the vehicle;
• and
• a winker operation resistance increasing device for increasing operation resistance of a winker manipulator of a winker device, which is provided in the vehicle and configured to operate a direction indicator by being tilted leftward and rightward;
• wherein when the approaching state that the obstacle is within the predetermined distance from the vehicle is determined by the approach determination device and the operation of the winker manipulator in the direction of a location of the obstacle is detected, the winker operation resistance increasing device is operated to increase the operation resistance of the winker manipulator,
• wherein the winker manipulator is supported on a handle switch that is fixed on a steering handle of the vehicle, and the operation resistance increasing device is configured to increase the operation resistance by pressing force of a plunger of a solenoid,
• wherein the plunger is operable with an elastic member which causes the operation resistance in the winker manipulator.
