18. EVAPORATIVE/EXHAUST EMISSION
CONTROL SYSTEM
18-1
EXHAUST EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
The exhaust emission control system adopted in this model utilizes the reed valve to draw
secondary air into the exhaust system for re-combustion by means of exhaust pulsation so as to
minimize the exhaust emission.
FUNCTION
Item
Purpose Function
Secondary Air
Cleaner
Filter secondary air.
It filters the fresh air drawn for re-burning to
revent dirt or dust from affectin
the o
eration of
the air injection cut-off valve.
Air Injection Cut-
off Valve
Prevent exhaust
muffler noise and
backfiring at sudden
deceleration.
The air injection cut-off valve usually opens to
lead air into the exhaust muffler in which air is re-
burned to reduce CO. When the throttle valve
closes suddenly, the air injection cut-off valve is
actuated b
vacuum to close and cut off secondar
air in order to prevent exhaust muffler backfiring
due to air in the exhaust system.
Reed Valve
Control the secondar
air inlet to reduce CO.
When the motorcycle speed is less than 50km per
hour, the reed valve o
erates to draw secondar
ai
into the exhaust system for re-combustion.
