Sorry to keep pestering for information but I gotta know. If I can't get my rear O2 sensor out by end of day tomorrow, could I run this weekend with it still in but not hooked up? The front came out easy. But the rear one is an SOB! In the morning I plan to unhook the rear shock, jack the bike up letting the swingarm fall. Hopefully this will give me the room to get that SOB out. I don't have time to do my first engine rotation before leaving for the track on Friday. | ||

If you take them out, don't you have to put something else in its place? I can't imagine it would hurt anything to leave them in and disconnected, since they're only activated for closed loop (certain RPM/TPS range)...Right? | ||

You will have no problems running with it unplugged. I have had mine unplugged for the last 3 months or so and can count on one hand the number of times i have seen the check engine light. I find it interesting that when i have seen the light come on is not when i would have expected, i.e. 80+ mph under fairly heavy throttle as opposed to light load cruise conditions. I don't think i'll even bother with removing mine, they seem to work pretty well at plugging that pesky hole in the header! | ||

The sensor sticks into the pipe. You should see a small increase in flow if you remove the sensor and put in a bung-plug. We carry two different brands at the counter. The closer to flush on the inside, the better. Z | ||

Zack, I got some Moroso plugs with threads the same length. I'll be good if I can get that rear plug out. My neighbor is a 20+ year motorcycle mechanic. He just told me that if I don't take them out and run with the electrical wire unplugged I run the risk of ruining them. Gotta get it out tomorrow. |
