Abstract;The RTL250F has a compact and lightweight 249cm3, water-cooled, 4-stroke engine. As the world's first off-road motorcycle with a batteryless electronically controlled fuel injection system (hereinafter referred to as batteryless PGM-FI system), the RTL250F has obtained the same or better racing performance than the RTL250R with a 2-stroke engine. Furthermore, the RTL250F motorcycle employs a kick-starter for engine ignition. The batteryless PGM-FI system utilizes a lower cost ECU (Engine Control Unit) integrated throttle body developed for small motorcycles. A control system was developed to obtain the drivability and usability required by a trials motorcycle. As a result, a commercially available trials motorcycle with a 4-stroke engine has been realized. This trials motorcycle has shown competitive performance for the World Championship Trials.
