hi, my bike arrived and it's pretty much beaten up, it was awfully handled and i hope i won't do something like this to any of my property.
so some of questions:
1) did all f4i's come with lambda o2 sensors? mine is just stuck with the bolt, so i think i need a replacement
2) what is this black cylinder located underneath close to the exhaust pipe? it has the hose that looks like pcv system. is it some oilcatch stuff? is it really needed? what does it do? can it be deleted?(it had took a lot of beating) i'll post pics later


i need some f4i stuff, i thought it can be appropriate to post there. please ignore if you mind.
i'd like to buy for 2006 f4i:
primary lambda o2 sensor;
the fixating ring (spring and ball thing) on the right passenger peg;
the kickstand with it's position sensor.

 

i think the o2 sensor only comes for the so-called "california model"
i'm in europe so i've never actually seen one

 

Yes those are both emission controls so you bought a california model. i do belive in 06 all of them had it though but not sure on that.

 

mine's a '01 and has a 02 sensor and the black cyclinder underneath. just means its a california model and its all just emissions crap. not sure if you can "delete" it or not.

 

it should be , but it looks like this:

and i don't like the way it looks, i think that's the oil catch tank and the pcv system can just be looped together or both of them can be vented to the atmosphere. anyone have a schematic of this system?
can the FI light be caused by the lack of the o2 sensor? can anyone point where is the jack of the o2 sensor located usually?i want to check if it's there or maybe it was without it when produced...
yep, it's from San Diego, California and i hate the guy that owned it before me. stuntshine state bla bla bla

 

some pics of the prgress will be here

sorry the description is in russian

 

you can buy a simulator for the 02 sensor. Im sure you can remove the pvc system entirely. Just make sure anything you disconect that has a vaccuum is closed or sealed as to not interfere with the rest of the bike.

 

i'll be more happy if i have a normal o2 sensor as it does help to form the air/fuel ratio and mileage too, i found one (and the kickstand kill switch which is absent on my bike for some other strange reason too) for cheap.i'll check tomorrow if they at least have the jacks to plug in still intact... the ******* which did this shouldn't be let to any type of vehicles.really[:@]

 

Is that bike missing it's vin sticker on the side of the frame? I think I saw that bike before and I'm afraid to say you might have a lot of problems

 

on the left side the sticker is there, it's scratched, but mostly there. we already "see" the problems the plastic needs some major welding(god bless ukraine for the repairs cheapness)
