Yes, motorcycles also use a throttle position sensor (TPS) to control the amount of fuel injected into the engine, similar to cars. The TPS is an electronic sensor that measures the position of the throttle grip or throttle plate and sends this information to the engine control unit (ECU) or engine management system.
Based on the throttle position data received from the TPS, the ECU adjusts the fuel injection and ignition timing to provide the appropriate amount of fuel and air mixture for combustion. The TPS helps the ECU determine the engine's load and the desired power output, allowing it to make precise adjustments to optimize performance and fuel efficiency.
In addition to fuel control, the TPS also plays a role in other aspects of motorcycle operation, such as idle speed control, traction control systems, and electronic throttle control (ride-by-wire) systems. It provides crucial input to various engine management functions, ensuring smooth and efficient operation of the motorcycle.
