Abstract

In an ignition system for an internal combustion engine of a motorcycle comprising an electric generator (1); an ignition circuit (6,9) connected to the electric generator for producing a spark voltage for a spark plug; a battery (3) having an end connected to the electric generator (1) via switching means (2), and another end connected to the ground; and an electrical load (4,5) connected in parallel with the battery, the switching means includes a voltage detector (2b) for detecting an output voltage of the electric generator (1), and a switching element (2a) for disconnecting the battery (3) and the electrical load (4,5) from the electric generator (1) when the output voltage detected by the voltage detector (2b) is below a prescribed value. Because the electrical load (4,5) and the battery (3) are disconnected from the generator (1) when the output voltage of the generator (1) is below a prescribed value, the output voltage can go up to the prescribed value or higher which is sufficient for the ignition circuit (6,9) 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.
