Read me First

Before you start soldering the PCB, make sure you’ve carefully read the following :

• Check the pics to get familiar with the PCB layout.

• Start with the wire jumpers. Locate them and solder them in place

• Next are all the resistors

• Now all the rotary switches

• Put all the toggle switches in place but don’t solder them for now. Put the front plate in place and fasten the
the toggles to the front plate. Push the front plate against the rotary switches. Now solder the toggles.

• All the rotaries and the pot do 'sit on the PCB'. There is no need to mount the rotaries and the pot to the front
plate. The front plate is held in place by the 3 toggles.

• Make sure the RED marker on the rotary switches (pin 1) matches the red marker on the PCB

• Make sure the WRITE toggle switch is in the correct position and properly oriented.

• Solder the LED and the 2 caps. Note the polarity! The LED’s current limiting resistor is 2K4 ohms. The
wiring diagram from TLP does not show the LED and resistor.

• Don't forget to adjust the rotaries to the correct number of positions (Cylinder = 4, Throttle = 3, Mixture =
5). First turn the switch fully CCW. Now unscrew the nut, remove the lock washer and set the locking ring to
the desired position. Now put the lock washer and nut back in place.

• Connect the wires to the PCB (see ‘Connector Setup Procedure’ for the colors).

• Carefully insert the blade pins into YOUR connector housing. Make sure the 'locking tongue' on the pin is in
the correct position. Now carefully 'work' the pins into the 'locked' position. This needs some effort due to
those tiny 'winglets' to the sides of the pins. I found the best way to do this is by using some pointed pliers
and pull the pins in a somewhat wiggly motion into the final position. Take you time, in the end it'll work
and the pins are properly seated.

• Before connecting the box to your bike the first time, double-check the PCB for cold/poor solder joints,
shorts and other possible problems/failures.

• Use doc ‘Box Voltage Check List’ and check your voltages

Note : The Wiring Diagram shows 5K0 ohms resistors for PIN 7 HIGH (R 17) and
Mixture Switch pos. +5. (R 12) This kit contains 4K99 ohms resistors instead.

5. Voltage Check List

Before you connect your JoE-Box to your bike’s ECU, you might check the box for proper voltages on the
connector. What you need is :

• Adjustable DC Voltage power supply or 5VDC fixed Voltage power supply

• Digital Voltmeter (set to 10/20VDC range or VDC auto-range)

The following voltages are calculated nominal values. As the box-kit contains high-quality, low-tolerance
metal-film resistors only, your readings should be pretty close to these nominal values (usually within a range of
+- 0,1V). If you notice any greater differences you better check that circuit in question for any problems (wrong
resistor, short circuit, poor/cold solder joint etc.).

Apply +5VDC to Pin 3 (pink) and GND to Pin 4 (brown). The box’s Power-LED should be ON now.

6. Connector Setup Procedure

This is what your bike’s connector (normally) looks like with the cap (housing) plugged.

Now remove the housing from the connector…

… like this.
Remove all but one of the yellow water seals (plugs) from the housing. They can easily be pulled or pushed out
from other side.

Now carefully insert the blade pins into the housing (where the yellow plugs used to be) and push ‘em in as far as
you can for now.

… like this.
Make sure the 'locking tongue' on the pins is in the correct position. Now carefully 'work the pins into the
'locked' position. This needs some effort due to those tiny 'winglets' to the sides of the pins. I found the best way
to do this is by using some pointed pliers and pull the pins with a somewhat wiggly motion into the final position.
Again, it needs some effort, so take you time, in the end it'll work and the pins are properly seated.

Pull the pins into position.

Connector is ready to use.

Yoshimura Advanced Fuel Management System

Adjuster Box - Instruction Sheet

R-421 Adjuster Box Suzuki GSXR750 1998-9 / TL1000S/R 1997-9 / GSX1300R 1999

The YAFMS adjuster box adjusts both stages of the Suzuki two-stage fuel injection system. The
Adjust-A section affects the idle circuit portion of the fuel injection.
The idling system is in effect during low-load (cruising-idling) situations.
The Adjust-B portion affects the acceleration portion of the fuel injection. The acceleration
system is in effect during high-load (acceleration) situations. The idle stage selects fuel maps
based mainly on the motorcycle’s various sensor inputs while the acceleration stage selects
maps based on throttle position and RPM. This translates to the Adjust-A portion of the adjuster
affecting slow-speed adjustments and the Adjust-B portion adjusts the higher RPM range.

The first step when making adjustments is to connect the adjuster box cable to the seven-pin
male connector on the OEM harness. You will have to remove the waterproof cap on the coupler
before connecting the cable. The coupler is located on the wire harness next to the electronic
control module, under the rider seat on the left-hand side of the motorcycle. When finished
tuning, be sure to replace the waterproof cap on the OEM male coupler!

Always confirm the ignition switch is OFF on the motorcycle and that the CATCH toggle switch
located at the upper right of the adjuster box is in the OFF position prior to connecting the cable
or damage may result to the adjuster box.

Once the connection is made, select the fuel curve (idle or acceleration) you want to adjust using
the Adjust A/B toggle switch located on the left side of the adjuster box.

Yoshimura recommends that all tuning/testing be done on a load-step dynamometer with an

exhaust gas analyzer. Please keep a logbook of adjustments made to the motorcycle(s) fuel
injection so changes can be monitored and the bike can be tuned in the most efficient manner.

Acceleration Map Adjustment Procedure

To increase the fuel injector duration (richen) ONLY, all cylinders simultaneously at the high rpm, full
throttle portion of the acceleration map follow the steps below.

1. Make sure the CATCH toggle switch is in the OFF position.

2. Attach the communication cable from the adjuster box to the diagnostic tool connector next to the
electronic control module under the seat. Shift the bike into neutral.
3. Move the Adjust A/B toggle switch down to the ADJ. B position.
4. Select H (high throttle position) on the THROTTLE POSITION SELECT switch.
5. Select 5 or 10 (five or ten percent increased injector duration from the standard map) on the
DURATION % ADJ. switch.
6. Turn the ignition key to the ON position. DO NOT START THE MOTORCYCLE! You should hear the
fuel pump for a few seconds. Once the fuel pump stops, check to see that the YAFMS power light is
ON. If the light is not ON check the connection and make sure the ignition switch is in the ON
position. When the power light is ON proceed to the next step.
7. Move the CATCH toggle switch down to the ON position.
8. Move the WRITING momentary switch down and hold it down for 4 seconds.
9. Release the WRITING momentary switch.
10. Once all tuning is completed for the Adjust B fuel curve, move the CATCH switch up to the OFF
position. All changes are saved to the electronic control module after the CATCH switch is moved up
to the OFF position.
11. Wait for 2 seconds then turn the ignition key to the OFF position.
12. Disconnect the adjuster box from the motorcycle wire harness when finished tuning.
Never leave the adjuster box connected when starting or riding the motorcycle.

To adjust the injector duration for ¼ and ½ throttle positions, during step 4 select L for ¼ throttle and M
for ½ throttle. To return to stock fuel injection settings, select 0 during step 5 for all throttle positions. To
reduce fuel injector duration, select -5 or -10 during step 5 for the desired throttle position at step 4.
Remember that changing the ADJ. B portion affects all cylinders at the same time. To return to stock
settings, set the adjustment to 0 and program the box per the above instructions. The bike will now be at
the original factory settings.

Idle Map Adjustment Procedure

The slow speed adjustments are made to each cylinder and please note that the adjuster knob is
very sensitive. This knob affects the percent CO (carbon monoxide) emitted by the engine. CO%
is an easy way to tell richness or leanness. A reasonable range is 2-3% CO for optimum mixture.
Very slight movements counter-clockwise of the top center 0 on the SLOW SPEED ADJ. knob
richen and slight movements to the right lean the idle mixture. A practical range for proper
mixture will be found +/- 90º from the 12 o’clock position. Note that maximum richness or
leanness correction occurs at the halfway point between the 12 o’clock position and the left or
right 0 positions. Each motorcycle reacts differently to adjustments made with the SLOW SPEED
ADJ. knob and requires fine-tuning similar to a pilot mixture screw on a carburetor.

To richen the slow speed-stage of the number one cylinder only on a 1999 GSXR750 follow the
steps below.

1. Make sure the CATCH toggle switch is in the OFF position.

2. Attach the communication cable from the adjuster box to the diagnostic tool connector next to
the electronic control module under the seat. Shift the bike to neutral.
3. Move the Adjust A/B toggle switch up to the ADJ. A position.
4. Select F1 (cylinder #1) on the CYL. SELECT switch.
5. Position the SLOW SPEED ADJ. knob to the median position (at the 12 o’clock 0 position).
Turn the SLOW SPEED ADJ. knob counter-clockwise to richen the idle mixture. This is a
sensitive adjustment - a 10º move to the left is a good starting point.
6. Turn the Ignition key to the ON position. DO NOT START THE MOTORCYCLE! You should
hear the fuel pump for a few seconds. Once the fuel pump stops, confirm that the YAFMS
power light is ON. If the light is not ON check the connection and make sure the ignition
switch is at the ON position. When the YAFMS power light is confirmed to be ON, proceed to
the next step.
7. Move the CATCH toggle switch down to the ON position.
8. Move the WRITING momentary switch down and hold it down for 4 seconds.
9. Release the WRITING momentary switch.
10. Move the CATCH switch up to the OFF position. The change is saved to the electronic
control module after the CATCH switch is moved up to the OFF position.
11. Wait for 2 seconds then turn the ignition key to the OFF position.
12. Remove the adjuster box from the motorcycle when finished tuning. Never leave the adjuster
box connected when starting or riding the motorcycle.

For the remaining cylinders repeat the above steps, but at step 4 select R2 (cylinder #2), 3
(cylinder #3) and 4 (cylinder #4). To adjust the slow speed stage of the TL1000S/R
‘97-98, follow the above steps and at step 4 select F1 for the front cylinder and R2 for the rear
cylinder. Remember that the idle-speed adjustments are made to each individual cylinder and not
tuning every cylinder may result in a rough idle and/or poor off-idle acceleration. To return to
stock settings, set the adjustment to the 12 o’clock 0 and program the box per instructions. The
bike will now be at the original factory settings.

Important Note: If the motorcycle is equipped with exhaust air-injection, a qualified mechanic
must block-off this device at the exhaust port or it will result in a small back-fire when closing the
throttle from full open. This modification is not legal for use on public roadways.

Recommended starting point for all applications: 25-30 degrees counter clockwise from the
vertical (stock) position.
