Exclamation Issues- Backfiring & lossing power

Hi All,

I have just finished getting my bike how i want it & after putting a stage 1 breather & V&H short shots i rode for about 15mile & then bike stated backfiring & losing power, speedo was going erratic for like 70mph to 30mph when under 3000rpm & fuel range went from 240km to 90km now bike does it when i take off in 1st gear, it feels as if the bike is going to die put if i clutch in & rev its ok, i done a DK coil relocation as well & i have not put in the tuner yet as still waiting for it to turn up, done a diagnostic last night & came up with this as follows : P - P0131 (FRONT OZYGEN SENSOR LOW) P0151 (REAR OXYGEN SENSOR LOW), S - NONE, SP- NONE, 6- NO RSP, Is this all happening because i don't have the tuner installed or is it because i wired the coil relocation incorrectly or have i got a leak in the new exhaust system or are the oxygen sensors bad????? PLEASE HELP. Bike is a 2011 Bob.

did you change or mess with the o2 sensors when you put the new pipes on?

You could have crossed the O2 sensors. On my 2012 the front O2 had a white connector and the back had a black connector.

Check your battery cables, make sure they are clean and tight and all ends

Since your getting codes for the sensors. It's a possibility that you damaged them by twisting the wires too much.
