same as the same models.
2. Engine family: motorcycles have similar power system, combustion cycle
(number of trips), type of cooling system (air, sea water), cylinder block structure
(ie parallel, V-type, opposite type, cylinder aperture center spacing distance, etc.),

systems, etc.), evaporated gas storage device, catalytic converters (oxidation catalyst,
reduction catalyst or three-way catalytic), secondary air system, electronic control
module vehicle can be summarized as the same engine family.

operating parameters (such as: vehicle speed, engine rpm, transmission gear
position, temperature, altitude, intake manifold vacuum, or other parameters)
to trigger, adjust, delay or stop the emissions control functionality of certain
devices when the vehicle is in normal operating conditions and hence reduce
or with no effect on the emissions control.
