The only time I know of anyone eliminating the O2 sensor is when you installer a Power Commander.
If you remove the O2 sensor without something going in its place to help manage the fuel, it's going to run oddly. I'd be wary of that part.
I was having a hellova time getting my re-foamed an skinned stock seat to go back on today. The advice above helped me get it back on. I did the following:
1.) Bent the "tab" on the seat down a bit with a pair of pliers (gently)
2.) Got the tab in the slot, got it lined up, then gave it a whack...
I'm so sorry Eric, nobody deserves a week like that. All you can do is press on, keep those who have passed in your memories, and cherish the time you have with those who are still around.
Chin up!
Just to keep this updated, my FDB levers were black when I got them, and have completely faded to almost silver in a few months time.
I contacted FDB and they didn't have any interest in helping me out. Oh well, you get what you pay for. I'll have them powdercoated over the winter or something....
I use knock off CRG style bar end mirrors. It was like $20 shipped for the set. I can see behind/beside WAY better, and it cleaned up the air flow coming from the front.
I think the Sargent may not be right for me. I've heard bigger guys don't get along with it.
The local play may only take a day or so. Maybe I'll just say eff it and drop it off.
I'm sending my seat off to be redone, and I was wondering if anyone near northeast MA would lend me a stock Gen 2 seat for a few days? I'd like to keep my downtime to a minimum.
Thanks all!
Because your bike is parked at an angle, and the location of the fuel level sensor, the fuel level reads MUCH lower when you first start it. If the level returns to where you remember it being when you parked it, all is well. If it is still low after a few miles of riding, time to figure out...
If I didn't put a giant scratch on the front of the screen I would leave it alone. Seeing the scratch drives me nuts so I'll hide it somehow.
I'm definitely not going to just spray paint the front. It won't hold up for more than a week.
