While the restriction on exhaust emission as an environmental measure has been reinforced more than ever, the demands for high power for engines are escalating. The technology corresponding to these demands in the engine management system for motorcycles is being developed under such a situation. With the changing from carburetors system to electronic fuel injection system, various devices are installed; it can be said that technology for engine management system control has advanced remarkably these days. As for the microcomputer within the ECU that controls the system, microcomputer installed in ignition units had only 8 bits and the capacity of ROM was about 16 kB in 1990, but the microcomputer installed in fuel injection units is so efficient that it has 32 bits and the capacity of ROM is increased up to 256 kB in 2004.
