ABSTRACT:
A throttle-opening detecting apparatus has a case mounted on a handle bar of a vehicle, a throttle grip mounted on a leading end side of the handle bar so as to be rotatable with respect to the handle bar, a throttle-opening sensor incorporated in the case for detecting a rotation angle of the throttle grip and, a friction plate applying a frictional force in an opposite direction with respect to the rotation of the throttle grip to the throttle grip while the throttle grip is rotated so as to provide a throttle-opening detecting apparatus which not only can omit the throttle wire but also can obtain the rotation load of the throttle grip similar to the conventional throttle-opening detecting apparatus to thereby permit execution of the operation of the throttle grip without giving the driver a strange feeling.
