Yoshimura
RS2 Titanium for KFX450R |
Chino, CA (4/25/2007) – Yoshimura R&D Of America,
Inc. announced today the release of five new products
for the new Kawasaki KFX450
® R
sport quad – Three New Exhaust Systems, a Yoshimura
EMS Peripheral Interface Module (PIM) Fuel Injection
Unit and FIMAK (Fuel Injection Map Adjuster Kit).
Yoshimura has been the leader as well as the pioneer
in EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection). Expertise learned
from years at the cutting edge of Superbike Racing has
clearly put Yoshimura at the head of the pack when it
comes to EFI tuning. The Yoshimura PIM and Ti- Pro Exhaust
System equipped KFX450R takes the stock 36HP KFX up
to an impressive 40.6HP. In addition, power delivery
becomes much more linear and crisp.
"We've got a bit of an advantage for sure," ATV Brand
Manager Kory Ellis said. "Working with the Suzuki factory
road racing team, we helped develop a lot of the technology
used today. Also, for the last two years we have continually
developed fuel injection adjusting devices for the Suzuki
QuadRacer
® R450 with a lot
of success. Yoshimura has been working in this field
since the beginning and we have a skill level that few
can match."
After any engine modification like switching from a
stock exhaust pipe or after engine mods, you must re-map.
The stock EFI has no idea what pipe is attached or what
state of tune the engine is, it automatically defaults
to stock parameters. The PIM units come with two preprogrammed
maps for Yoshimura systems.
Yoshimura EMS Peripheral Interface Module (PIM):
#RF-432-2415 PIM $285.00 (MSRP)
The Yoshimura EMS (Engine Management System) was developed
in AMA Superbike racing as a way to fine tune modified
racing engine fuel injection mapping. As EFI technology
has come to quad racing, the same technology that has
helped Mat Mladin win six of the last seven Superbike
titles and Doug Gust win last years WPSA Championship,
is here for the KFX.
The #RF-432-2415 PIM is a piggyback unit that plugs
in as an adjunct to the stock OEM wiring harness. This
simple plug-in to the stock harness requires no major
modifications; and takes about thirty minutes to install.
The PIM comes with (2) pre-programmed fuel maps, which
optimize fuel delivery for our Yoshimura exhaust systems.
Map (a) offers best performance when utilizing the spark
arrestor. Map (b) offers maximum machine performance
with our race exhaust system. The PIM unit attaches
directly on top of the OEM ECU and takes just a few
minutes to install.
EMS Fuel Injection Map Adjuster Kit (FIMAK):
FIMAK #R-422 MSRP $275.00 (MSRP)

EMS
Fuel Injection Map Adjuster |
If additional fuel adjustments are required, the
FIMAK is utilized when interfaced with the Peripheral
Interface Module. The FIMAK is a hand held unit that
makes mapping changes that ultimately effect fuel
delivery. The FIMAK makes adjustments to the Yoshimura
supplied base maps stored inside the PIM unit…or allow
the user to make custom maps of his own choice/ Once
adjustments are performed, the FIMAK is simply unplugged
and stored in the racer's toolbox.
The FIMAK will allow for +/- percentage adjustment
of fuel, at various operating points. (throttle angle
and engine rpm). The FIMAK has a total of 200 mapping
points available. Throttle angle is well defined at
the lower throttle angles, where engine response is
critical. Engine rpm adjustment points are available
in 500rpm increments. Fuel trim is adjustable in 1%
increments, with a +/- 20% threshold.
Additional features of the FIMAK:
The block edit feature allows the user to select "blocks"
of operating points and trim fuel. This feature is
helpful when sizable adjustments are necessary. An
"active" mode is available for live engine tuning.
Active operating points are displayed on the LCD display
panel. This feature allows fuel adjustments while
the engine is running.
