Suspension controlling apparatus for vehicle

A suspension controlling apparatus for a motorcycle, comprising:

• a front suspension operatively mounted to a front wheel and a rear suspension operatively mounted to a rear wheel, said front and rear suspensions having a variably settable damping force;
• and
• a control unit for controlling the damping force of the front and rear suspensions;
• said control unit controlling the damping of the front and rear suspensions on the basis of a target damping force when a vibration state of the motorcycle in a vertical direction exceeds a given vibration state;
• wherein when acceleration in a forward and rearward direction of the motorcycle is outside a given range, a decision condition for the given vibration state is changed to a condition on a side on which the skyhook controlling damping force control of the front and rear suspensions has less of a chance to be started.

• an actual acceleration calculator for calculating the actual acceleration;
• and
• a selector for selecting the actual acceleration obtained by the actual acceleration calculator when the acceleration is in the forward and rearward direction obtained by the acceleration calculator and when the braking state obtained from the brake system is in an antilock braking controlling state is equal to or lower than a given acceleration.
