Abstract
A method and device are provided for adjusting the height of a motorcycle equipped with a motorcycle-height changing device for increasing and decreasing the height of the motorcycle in accordance with the operation of an actuator controlled in accordance with information on the speed of the motorcycle. Thus, an operational delay can be prevented from occurring when stopping the motorcycle by an abrupt deceleration. In addition, the height of the motorcycle can be increased to a high value quickly even at the time the motorcycle is started. A first piece of set speed information is set for starting the operation of the actuator to decrease the height of the motorcycle, and a second piece of set speed information different from the first set speed information is set for starting the operation of the actuator to increase the height of the motorcycle.
