O2 and bung issue
O2 and bung issue
Long story short... bought my wife some V&H short shorts, but bung threads in rear pipe stripped from factory. Not doing a QA inspection prior to installing O2 into bung, it stripped the threads, but I can get the sensor 90% in. V&H warranty is going to replace the parts, but the wife wants to ride this weekend. I have the Fuel Pack as well.
So do y'all think it would be OK for her to ride?

"...I can get the sensor 90% in."
Run a 'thread chaser' (not a tap) through the threads to clean up the threads.
>>Make sure the sensor threads themselves are not part of the problem.<<
Install sensor (with anti-seize compound) and snug down.
Does not need to be real tight to seal.
Actual 'pressure' inside of headpipes is lower than one might think.
This may get you by until proper fix can be achieved.
