–+ELECMAP-CONTROLLED CDI UNIT
MAP-CONTROLLED CDI UNIT
A map-controlled, CDI ignition system is used in the WR250F.
The microcomputer in the CDI unit detects the engine speed and throttle position, thus determining the optimum ignition
timing through the entire operating range. In this way, quick throttle response can be achieved according to various riding
conditions.






Function of Component






Principal of 3-Dimensional Control
Conventionally, ignition timing was controlled only by
engine revolutions (2-dimensional control).
However, ignition timing needs advancement also by
engine load. Thus, accurate ignition timing can be deter-
mined by adding throttle opening to determine ignition
timing (3-dimensional control).
3-D Image Map of Ignition Timing
(different from actual characteristics)
Component Function
Throttle position sensor Detects throttle valve opening and inputs it into the computer in the CDI unit as a
throttle opening signal.
Pickup coil Detects signal rotor revolutions and inputs them into the computer in the CDI unit as
engine revolution signals.
CDI unit The signals of the throttle position sensor and pickup coil sensor are analyzed by
the computer in the CDI unit, which then adjusts ignition timing for the operation
requirements.

STARTING CIRCUIT CUT-OFF
SYSTEM OPERATION
If the main switch is set to “ON”, the
starter motor can only operate if at
least one of the following conditions
is met:
•The transmission is in neutral (the
neutral switch is closed).
•The clutch lever is pulled to the
handlebar (the clutch switch is
closed).
The starting circuit cut-off relay pre-
vents the starter motor from operat-
ing when neither of these conditions
has been met. In this instance, the
starting circuit cut-off relay is open so
current cannot reach the starter
motor. When at least one of the
above conditions has been met the
starting circuit cut-off relay is closed
and the engine can be started by
pressing the start switch.

ELECTRIQUE
FONCTIONNEMENT DU
DISPOSITIF DE COUPURE DU
CIRCUIT DE DEMARRAGE
Si le contacteur à clé est sur “ON”, le
démarreur ne peut fonctionner que si
l’une au moins des conditions suivantes
est remplie:
la boîte de vitesses est au point mort
(le circuit du contacteur de point mort
est fermé).
le levier d’embrayage est tiré vers le
guidon (le contacteur d’embrayage est
fermé).
Le relais de coupe-circuit de démarrage
empêche le démarreur de fonctionner
lorsque aucune des deux conditions n’est
remplie. Dans ce cas, le relais de coupe-
circuit de démarrage est ouvert, de sorte
que le courant ne peut atteindre le
démarreur. Lorsqu’une au moins des
conditions ci-dessus est remplie, le relais
de coupe-circuit de démarrage est fermé
et le moteur peut être démarré à l’aide du
contacteur du démarreur.
