Abstract
A reverse assist system for a saddle riding vehicle includes a switch configured to be displaced between a first position and a second position. The switch is displaced to the second position to activate a reverse assist strategy. The reverse assist system also includes a sensing unit to determine at least one of a speed or an acceleration of the saddle riding vehicle, and a controller arranged in communication with the switch, the sensing unit, and a front brake. The controller is configured to activate the reverse assist strategy in response to the displacement of the switch to the second position, and control the front brake to control braking of a front wheel based on at least one of the speed or the acceleration of the saddle riding vehicle to assist a rider to reverse the saddle riding vehicle according to the reverse assist strategy.
