Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0811763A2] In an ignition system for an internal combustion engine of a motorcycle comprising an electric generator; an ignition circuit connected to the electric generator for producing a spark voltage for a spark plug; a battery having an end connected to the electric generator via switching means, and another end connected to the ground; and an electrical load connected in parallel with the battery, the switching means includes a voltage detector for detecting an output voltage of the electric generator, and a switching element for disconnecting the battery and the electrical load from the electric generator when the output voltage detected by the voltage detector is below a prescribed value. Because the electrical load and the battery are disconnected from the generator when the output voltage of the generator is below a prescribed value, the output voltage can go up to the prescribed value or higher which is sufficient for the ignition circuit to properly operate so as to produce a spark voltage for a spark plug, with the result that the internal combustion engine can be easily started by operating a kickstarter of the motorcycle. <IMAGE>
