I got my Micron Exhaust today and when I pulled it out of the box I noticed it did not have a O2 Sensor hole. I emailed Micron they said that it was just EPA garbage and I did not need it just to order a O2 Sensor blocker. Is this true?? How will the bike know how to set the fuel / air mixture?? Will this be a problem and should I return the pipe and find one that has the O3 sensor hole.
Thanks

I don't know if I'd trust that. Just go to your parts house and buy the piece that the sensor threads into and drill a hole in the exhaust where the factory one was and weld the thing on. Then install the sensor and go from there. Thats what I would do anyways. Most exhaust companies have two different exhausts for these bikes. California model and federal model. I don't know much about the Ca models, but if that was the issue I had, thats what I'd probably do. Just my 2 cents. You could get a blocker, but that just tricks the computer, and sometimes that doesn't even work. There usually not real cheap either.

 

the O2 eliminator sucks...it will just make our MPG run worse...the O2 sensor is NOT garbage...it only works to give you better gas mileage, don't listen to any bs about making more power without it because when you WOT, bike is running on a MAP that supercedes the O2 sensor's input.

drill a hole in the midpipe, mount a bolt to it an then mount your O2 sensor on that.

Just go to an exhaust shop and have them weld a O2 "bung" onto your mid-pipe.

 

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but I recently emailed micron a similiar question and got back almost the same answer that the sensr is not needed. I was trying to get a feel for how many people are actually welding on a bung for the sensor versus just going the eliminator route. I'm suprised that micron doesn't carry a "california" mid-pipe yet for these especially since all of the 06 models have the O2 sensor.

 

is this whole topic just for California ran bikes?

 

This would be good for any 2006 F4i or any California model

 

Micron tells you its not needed because really its not....its kinda like those people that say a PC is not needed with a pipe....I guess your bike will technically run without it...
