Abstract
A method of reducing heat produced by an internal combustion engine in a motorcycle. The method includes supplying fuel pulses to a combustion chamber at least once per engine cycle (consecutive engine cycles defining a series of consecutive fuel pulses), operating the motorcycle at a low speed condition, and withholding at least a portion of at least one fuel pulse from at least one subsequent engine cycle to the combustion chamber when operating the motorcycle at the low speed condition.
