    Abstract: A vehicle driving force control device controls a driving force of an engine in accordance with an operation of a handlebar grip attached to a motorcycle. The handlebar grip is nonrotatably secured to a handlebar of the motorcycle. The vehicle driving force control device includes a strain gauge and a control section. The strain gauge acts as twisting force detection means for detecting a twisting force that is oriented in a normal rotation direction or in a reverse rotation direction and applied to the handlebar grip. The control section controls the driving force in accordance with the detected twisting force. The control section exercises control to increase the driving force in accordance with the twisting force oriented in the normal rotation direction.

    Abstract: A remaining fuel amount warning device for a vehicle, the remaining fuel amount warning device giving a warning that an amount of fuel remaining in a fuel tank is smaller than a predetermined value on the basis of output of a fuel gauge measuring the remaining fuel amount, includes combustion state changing device for changing the combustion state of an engine. When the remaining fuel amount becomes smaller than the predetermined value, the remaining fuel amount warning device performs remaining amount warning control that produces vibration different than during normal operation by changing the combustion state of the engine by the combustion state changing device. A starter switch for starting the engine is made to serve also as a warning acknowledging button for stopping the remaining amount warning control for a predetermined time on the basis of an operation by an occupant.

    Abstract: A motorcycle includes liquid crystal display device with a liquid crystal panel and a back light source, a main controller which receives predetermined inputs pertaining to a current operating state of the vehicle or to a rider's intended operations of the vehicle, and a sub-controller for controlling the back light source. The sub-controller is configured to switch the back light source from a normal output state to a low output state if none of the predetermined inputs are inputted to the main controller for at least a predetermined time period, and to switch the back light source back to the normal output state if at least one of the predetermined inputs is inputted to the main controller when the back light source is in the low output state. The predetermined inputs correspond to the rider's operation of control members of the saddle type vehicle when riding.

    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device of a motorcycle is configured and arranged to rapidly warm up a liquid crystal panel at cool temperatures, without requiring an additional heating member. The liquid crystal display device includes a control unit, for controlling a liquid crystal panel, and a backlight. When the temperature of liquid crystal is lower than a predetermined value, or when it is within a fixed time period after turning on an ignition switch, as a warm-up period, the control unit increases power supplied to the backlight to a larger amount than that in a normal display state, to increase the amount of back light, and temporarily changes the entire display surface to a darker color, in order to increase the amount of light absorbed by the liquid crystal panel, simultaneously reducing the amount of light penetrating the display surface, and thereby speeding up warming of the liquid crystal panel.

    Abstract: A straight-traveling/turning determination device includes a straight-traveling/turning determiner that determines whether a motorcycle is traveling straight or turning by comparison between a threshold and a rotary speed comparison value that is a value resulting from comparison between the rotary speed of a front wheel and the rotary speed of a rear wheel. The straight-traveling/turning determiner uses the rotary speed comparison value in the state in which the vehicle speed is equal to or lower than first predetermined speed and an absolute value of the vehicle acceleration is equal to or lower than predetermined acceleration and a turn signal is not being actuated as a straight-traveling rotary speed comparison value, and determines that the motorcycle is turning if a ratio or difference between the rotary speed comparison value and the straight-traveling rotary speed comparison value becomes larger than a threshold.

    Abstract: A turn signal cancelling device for a motorcycle includes turn signal cancellation control unit configured to automatically deactivate a second turn signal after a second predetermined time has passed or after the motorcycle has travelled a second predetermined distance since an activation the second turn signal. The turn signal cancellation control unit is configured to automatically deactivate the second turn signal in a case where the activation of the second turn signal is performed before a first predetermined time has passed or before the motorcycle has travelled a first predetermined distance since an activation of a first turn signal is performed when a vehicle speed is equal to or higher than a predetermined speed.
