cleaning o2 sensor?
Do o2 sensors need to be cleaned? I'm installing my new road rage exhaust and the o2 sensors were a grayish white. Should they be cleaned every once ina while? Bike is a 14 with 4.5k. I was thinking it would be good to clean em up before installing the new pipe but I don't know of this is neccesary or even what to use. Any thoughts on this would be great. Thanks guys!

Yes you would. Like I said what you are looking at is a shield that covers the sensor. You can touch the cover. You would have to cut the cover off to get to the sensor. Company I worked for made o2 sensors and a lot more parts for computer and fuel injection systems. Part of my job was to teach technicians how to work on them.

Read item #3 on the second page of the installation sheet from V&H about getting anti-seize on the tip of the O2 sensor

I don't believe it would take much to throw a code
