In this paper, an Electronic Control System (ECS) is designed to manage a 125 cc single-cylinder air-cooled motorcycle engine. The aim of this study was to accomplish low cost, high reliability and mainly meet the motorcycle engine emission standard of China Stage III. The intake port fuel injection mode was chosen with a redesigned part of intake pipe. Gathering information of speed, throttle position (TP), inlet temperature and pressure, cylinder temperature, switch-type exhaust gas oxygen sensor and the battery voltage, an Engine Control Unit (ECU) was devised to calculate fuel injecting pulse width, advance ignition angle and control the working conditions of the fuel pump and the exhaust gas oxygen sensor. Additionally, a three-way catalytic converter (TWC) was used to reduce exhaust gas emissions.
