Abstract
A vehicle with an automatic downshift function, comprises an engine including a throttle device and an ignition device; an engine speed sensor which detects an engine speed; a shift operation member which is operated by a rider; a manual transmission connected to the engine, a shift operation sensor which detects the operation of the shift operation member; and a controller which controls the engine based on a detection signal of the engine speed sensor and a detection signal of the shift operation sensor. In a case where the controller determines that a deceleration shift operation has been initiated based on the detection signal of the shift operation sensor, the controller performs an automatic downshift control so that the controller controls the throttle device to increase an intake-air amount and controls the ignition device to change an ignition timing, based on the engine speed detected by the engine speed sensor.
