Abstract
A motorcycle capable of reducing and minimizing a period of time in which air that is immixed into hydraulic oil due to a vehicle body being inclined in a left-right direction stays in the hydraulic oil, includes an oil pump to feed hydraulic oil to an oil chamber of a primary pulley and an oil chamber of a secondary pulley, and a first control valve. The first control valve includes a discharge port to discharge the hydraulic oil from a first oil passage continuously from the oil pump to the oil chamber. Under normal control, the controller operates the first control valve based on the driving state of the motorcycle. Further, the controller determines whether or not the inclination of the motorcycle exceeds a predetermined threshold, and when the inclination of the motorcycle exceeds the predetermined threshold, the controller operates the first control valve such that the discharge port is prevented from being closed.
