Abstract

See full text

In a steering damper control apparatus, when a command value output unit detects an idle spin of a rear wheel, a damper driver increases a damping force of an MR damper to be higher than a damping force thereof used when the rear wheel is not spinning idly. Therefore, skidding of the rear wheel is prevented to prevent a posture change of a motorcycle. As a result, a driving direction of the rear wheel deviating from a traveling direction is prevented to efficiently use the drive of the rear wheel during traveling.
