Long time lurker, seldom a poster.... Anyhow I have a couple codes that confuse me. A 06 deuce doesn't have O2 sensors... so how is it I have these codes? Can anyone help explain that?
I have cleared the codes, and they have came back. They could be codes that have been on this bike for a long time and I simply never noticed. in 2013 or so that bike had a lot of work done to it by HD dealer using a HD tuner. Perhaps it is something off in the tune? I hate going to the dealer if I don't have to, if it it needs to go, it needs to go.
I have swapped the handlebars and lights out for LED ones and have been messing with all that. As such I checked the codes and they are there. No idea how long they were there. I cleared them and they came back. I am struggling to remember if I was told in the past by my HD dealer to ignore them or not. Say for instance I was told after the engine work to ignore these if I see them. So it could be a non-issue but my memory is failing me more than anything else. No one can help me there LOL...
I was just curious if anyone else had seen this in/on a bike before. It runs fine. But I do not know the HD SE tuner as well as most people. For all I knew there was a setting to prevent this code (to omit O2 readings for instance) or something of the sort.

Since they're not throwing a CEL, I would ignore them. You know the O2 sensors are not working, and why, so nothing is being adversely affected.
I am unaware if the O2 sensor reading (closed loop v open loop) can be turned on/off with the SE tuner, or if it is totally based on the base tune.
All custom tunes start with a base tune. It is possible they started with a base '07+ tune for your bike, which has/uses the O2 sensors (closed loop) and forgot to, or can't, change the tune to open loop...
I am thinking like you are on this as well. Least I was hoping I was thinking right. Just making sure I am not missing anything, sounds like I'm on track.
