Motorcycle provided with engine setting system
First Claim
1. A motor vehicle, comprising:
- an engine;
an external setting unit configured to set an engine control amount;
a control unit configured to store a basic control map having a preset engine control amount contained therein, the control unit is also configured to communicate with the external setting unit;
an engine setting system configured to change the preset engine control amount by replacing the preset engine control amount with the engine control amount set by the external setting unit, wherein the engine control amount set by the external setting unit is reflected in the basic control map;
an engine revolution detection unit connected to the control unit,wherein the engine control amount set by the external setting unit is reflected in the control map when a start preparing operation is detected,wherein the control unit determines an existence of a start preparing operation when an engine revolution number obtained from the engine revolution detection unit exceeds a predetermined value, andwherein the predetermined value is set to a revolution number that is higher than an idle revolution number.

Abstract
A motor vehicle includes an engine and an external setting unit configured to set an engine control amount. A control unit is configured to store a basic control map having a preset engine control amount contained therein. The control unit is also configured to communicate with the external setting unit. An engine setting system is configured to change the preset engine control amount by replacing the preset engine control amount with the engine control amount set by the external setting unit. The engine control amount set by the external setting unit is reflected in the basic control map. The engine control amount set by the external setting unit is reflected in the control map when a start preparing operation is detected.

8. A method of controlling an engine, comprising:
-
storing a basic control map in an engine control unit, said basic control map having a preset engine control amount contained therein; setting an engine control amount with an external setting unit; detecting a start preparing operation of an engine in the motor vehicle; replacing the preset engine control amount with the engine control amount set by the external setting unit upon detection of the start preparing operation, wherein the engine control amount set by the external setting unit is reflected in the basic control map, wherein the detecting comprises determining when an engine revolution number exceeds a predetermined value, and wherein the predetermined value comprises a revolution number that is higher than an idle revolution number. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)

12. A motor vehicle, comprising:
-
engine means for providing motive force to a motor vehicle; external setting means for setting a control amount for the engine means; control means for storing a basic control map having a preset engine control amount contained therein, the control means also for communicating with the external setting means; engine setting means for changing the preset engine control amount by replacing the preset engine control amount with the engine control amount set by the external setting means, wherein the engine control amount set by the external setting means is reflected in the basic control map; engine revolution detecting means connected to the control means, for detecting an engine revolution amount, wherein the control means is also for determining an existence of a start preparing operation when an engine revolution number obtained from the engine revolution detection means exceeds a predetermined value, wherein the engine control amount set by the external setting means is reflected in the control map when a start preparing operation is detected, and wherein the predetermined value comprises a revolution number that is higher than an idle revolution number. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
