Default Rookie question... PCV install

Encountered another slight issue on the install. B4 i get **** on getting myself a service manual....i'm on it! My lack of wrenching experience and ability leaves me with having no clue where the front O2 and rear O2 sensor that i'm supposed to disconnect to plug in the Dynojet O2 sensor eliminators are located or even look like. The illustrations in the instructions provided are simply a lil too vague for me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Find the O2 sensors on the front and rear pipe and follow the cable off of it to the connectors. The front is behind the voltage regulator on the front of the bike, you have to take the screws out that hold it and the connector is under a plastic cover behind it. The rear connector you will find under the seat.

Off of each engine cylinder, you will see where each header exhaust pipe mounts. Follow each header pipe down from that point to locate the O2 sensor (maybe 8-10 inches from cylinder). The sensors look kind of like spark plugs which protrude from the header pipe.

Each sensor will have a couple wires coming from it leading to a connector. The front connector can be found between the frame and the voltage regulator, in a caddy just in front of the area of the oil filter. Remove the regulator, and you will see the connector in the plastic caddy. This is where you will separate the connectors and install the front O2 eliminator.

The rear O2 connector is located under the seat. Remove the seat and you will find several different wiring harnesses and connectors. Gently wiggle the wiring from the O2 sensor to help determine which of the connectors under your seat belongs to the O2 sensor. It will look identical to the front.

Good luck.

John

I deserve more credit than that. I spent a lot more "than a minute of my time" hunting and pecking keys on the laptop only to duplicate info davidc had already posted five minutes earlier.

I had good intentions, just slow execution.

Indeed.


You may also want to get a service manual if you don't already have one, it has plenty of info on stuff like this in there.
