| 1. A straddle type vehicle, comprising:
an electronically and mechanically controllable throttle valve for adjusting the amount of air intake of an engine;
a first member displaced together with the throttle valve in a state in which a position of the first member when the throttle
valve is fully closed is set as a first original position;
a second member displaced in accordance with an acceleration controller in a state in which a position of the second member
when the acceleration controller is fully closed is set as a second original position; and
an elastic body operatively coupled between the first member and the second member when at least the first member and the
second member are in the first original position and the second original position, respectively, the elastic body generating
a restoring force to return the first member to the first original position when the second member is in the second original
position, and maintaining the second member in the second original position by being elastically deformed until the first
member reaches a predetermined position when the first member is displaced from the first original position in a direction
in which the throttle valve opens in a state in which the second member is in the second original position.
