Control method for transmission for motorcycle
First Claim
1. A control method for a transmission for a motorcycle having a plurality of shift gear trains such that a combination of gears meshing with each other is changed by driving an actuator to change a shift position, whereinwhen a vehicle body inclination angle as a sideward inclination angle of a vehicle body of said motorcycle during running of said motorcycle becomes greater than or equal to a predetermined angle, a change in shift position in said transmission is inhibited.

Abstract
A control method for a transmission for a motorcycle having a plurality of shift gear trains such that the combination of gears meshing with each other is changed by driving an actuator to change a shift position. When a vehicle body inclination angle β as a sideward inclination angle of a vehicle body of the motorcycle during running of the motorcycle becomes greater than or equal to a predetermined angle, a change in shift position in the transmission is inhibited. The method controls the transmission for the motorcycle in order to reduce an operational load on a rider during turning of the motorcycle.

11. A control method for a transmission for a motorcycle having a plurality of shift gear trains such that a combination of gears meshing with each other is changed by driving a shifting motor to change a shift position, the method comprising:
-
determining whether of not a vehicle body inclination angle as a sideward inclination angle of a vehicle body of said motorcycle during running of said motorcycle is greater than or equal to a predetermined angle; and preventing a change in shift position in said transmission when said vehicle body inclination angle during running is greater than or equal to the predetermined angle. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20)
