Hi.
I have an issue with high engine idle. Checking the fault codes, I picked
up a P1034 code (Front oxygen sensor inactive). I re-set the codes, rode the bike but it came back. I would like to know if there is a chance that the issues are related?

 

Check the connection with the front O2 sensor.

 

So you get a code for the front o2 sensor and reset it and it comes back and you think it might be something else? What advice are you looking for?

 

I am going to fix the O2 sensor. I just want to know if a faulty O2 sensor can cause a high idle condition. If it can, I will just be re-assured that I am close to resolving the issue.

 

Clean your IAC and Check for intake leakage as well.

 

Thanks, will do. Will let you know

 

The sensor shouldn't affect the idle. Very likely you need to clean the IAC.
