Hey all, I'm ready to install my o2 sensor in hopes of eliminating my overheating problem. I'm reading through the manual and I'm overwhelmed by the number of items that must be removed to replace the sensor: shock, rear tail section, air box, seat...pretty much the top and back half of the bike. Is there an easier way?

Thanks,

So the XB series does have an O2 sensor or no?

Yes, the XB series has just one O2 sensor located on the rear/back exhaust pipe.

What is the snap on tool number YA-8875? Do you really need it to do the job?

Make your own out of the correct size, cheapo (or a good one) socket....all you need is a Dremel or cut-off saw, etc. to do it.....Odie

Racer, sorry, been out working projects all day. Cut it up the side deep enough to allow the sensor wire to tuck inside the socket itself. Don't go all the way up as you won't be able to torque the sensor all the way down. Basically you are just cutting a big "U" in the side of the socket....Odie
