PC3 Maps

[Duked]

Hey folks I'd like to try a map from the power commander site but the closest map I can find is the European (yoshi slip ons, cat elim y piece n after market filter) but.... It says O2 sensor removed as most of them do. I can't find anything really closer. Will this present probs if I upload it to the pc3?
I'm getting a custom tune in the next few mths

If it bothers you, you can unplug the O2 sensor, no fault code comes up for that i think.

02 sensor is unplugged/removed on mine and there is no fault code

Why does the bike have an O2 sensor in the first place?

To sense O2.

To sense O2.

See a C₂H₅OH sensor I could understand....

It's to ensure the correct stoichiometric ratio.

Emissions mostly. Also can help on cruise to get better economy. But mostly emissions.

The bike uses the o2 sensor to detect whether it is running slightly too rich on cruise. If so, it will lean off a bit.

Under any real throttle the sensor is not used and the ecu falls back to the fuel map installed in it by the factory.
