WARNING
Never use a fuse with an amper-

may cause extensive damage to
the electrical system, cause the
starting and ignition systems to
malfunction and could possibly
cause a fire.
4. Install:

Seat Replacement steps:
Set the main switch to “OFF”.
Install a new fuse of the correct
amperage.
Set on the switches to verify if
the electrical circuit is opera-
tional.
If the fuse immediately blows
again, check the electrical cir-
cuit.

–+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.
