PIM-2 & DATA EFI Controller Box Product Review We Step up the Power on Our
Project Suzuki LTR 450R ATV with Yoshimura

PIM-2 and D.A.T.A. EFI Controller Box
Chino, CA (12/17/2010) - Our project
Suzuki LTR 450R has been serving us well over these
many months since it fell into the role of test
mule for ATVRiders.com We had in a previous article
installed the Cherry Bomb and removed the baffle
from the exhaust to pick up some power. That change
was quite noticeable and well received by our test
rider and all was well with the world! Of course
things never seem to stay the same nor shall I say
one is never content with the amount of power one
has and we found ourselves in possession of an aftermarket
exhaust system.
We rolled the dice that the cherry bomb would be
sufficient enough to help keep us from scattering
our engine due to the new breathing capabilities
our new found system would afford. Just to be safe
we left the air box lid on and gave the whole shebang
a whirl. To my delight it sounded crisp, never made
a single hiccup and our rider was quite impressed
with the new found acceleration. The reports were
outstanding and I decided to see what the hype was
and in no time I was shaking my head at the end
of a 5th gear run that had me agreeing that this
quad was now definitely in the quick department!
Yoshimura
made the installation of the PIM-2 &
D.A.TA. Box very easy and pain free!
Awaking from my sleep that night with visions of
a scattered engine, I swore that I would make the
calls the next day to get us some form of fuel management
system in place so my wallet did not scream foul
and become an empty pit of leather. A Yoshimura
PIM-2 complete system along with the D.A.T.A box
was ordered and soon we were ready to dive into
the installation process. Nightmare number two came
the night the system arrived as I tossed and turned
with visions of wires attacking me, wire cutters
and electrical tape gone wild, it was not making
me look forward to tackling the job!
Opening the boxes had me feeling much better when
I laid eyes on the factory connections and one sole
ground wire that made up the wiring harness. With
the front fenders removed, and a quick read through
the included instructions, we began our adventure.
I kind of felt like a real mechanic as I was soon
unhooking fuel injector connections and this wire
and that wire but it is really self explanatory
once you figure out which connections are being
employed as the PIM system is piggy backed into
the stock harness.
Yoshimura
supplies everything you need to mount
up the PIM-2 & D.A.T.A Box
Installation stated by Yoshimura is 30
minutes and we were within seconds of that before
we turned the key and fired it to life. The biggest
thing to watch for during installation is spilling
fuel from the gas tank, pinching fuel lines during
reassembly and making sure that the harness is run
in such a way that it won’t cause issues (rubbing,
pinching or contacting a heat source).
