摘要:
To provide a braking force control apparatus for a saddle ride-type vehicle, which causes braking force to act when a rider drives a vehicle body forward and backward at low speed while supporting the vehicle. A braking force control apparatus for a saddle ride-type vehicle, including a control device (106) configured to control a clutch device (108) which connects and disconnects driving force between an engine (100) and a transmission (40), and brake devices (BF and BR) which generate braking force of at least one of a drive wheel (WR) and a front wheel (WF). The vehicle (1) is configured to be able to switch between a normal driving mode and a slow speed mode assuming driving at a speed reduction ratio on a lower speed side than the normal driving mode. An inclination angle θ in a pitching direction of the vehicle (1) is detected when the slow speed mode is selected. The brake devices (BF and BR) generate braking force (B) when the inclination angle θ is not less than a predetermined value. Then, upon input of a driving operation in the slow speed mode, switching of the clutch device (108) to a connected state is started, and the braking force (B) is gradually released once the driving force starts to be transmitted to the drive wheel (WR).
