Abstract:
A straddle-type vehicle in which drivability is ensured when starting the vehicle. The vehicle includes a control device that controls a continuously variable transmission. A plurality of driving modes “A” and “B” are set in the control device. The control device performs a first control that switches the driving mode to driving mode “A” before start of the engine; a second control that switches between driving modes A” and “B” in response to operation of a mode switching operation member; and a third control that limits the second control and inhibits switching from the driving mode “A” to driving mode “B”, when the control device detects that the engine has not been started.
