Hey guys,

So at the end of last week I put my passenger pegs on. Rather than being thorough as I should have been and taking the exhaust off in its entirety I just loosened everything and supported it on some blocks while I took the master cylinder off to fit the new peg/MC combo bracket.

At one point, the exhaust slipped and the only thing supporting the exhaust was the rear O2 sensor cable - It all seems ok cosmetically but what signs would the bike give me if I'd done any damage?

I ask because since then, the bike seems to need more revs than normal to get away from a standstill, although I'm attributing it to the FP3 autotune (along with some decel pop) at the moment - I'd like to rule out the O2 sensor...

Any advice?

 

Run the diagnostic test. O2 codes will show if there is a problem with the sensor.

 

Didn't know there was a test you could run to be honest... I've read the user manual and didn't see anything about that so I'll have another read...

Just something you can force it to run with a series of button presses sort of thing?

 

There is a sticky on the top of the page on how to read the diagnostic (DTC) codes from the speedometer.

For the 2014+ Sportsters, hold in the Trip meter switch on the left handlebar control and put the run switch to RUN. That will bring up the diagnostics window in the speedo. Use the trip meter switch to scroll through the diagnostics. If there is an issue it will show a code (disregard the PN XXXXXX-XX during the diagnostics, that is the part number of the module it is checking).

 

when the pipe fell it may have pulled the pins in the o2 sensor connector loose or a wire connection at the pin inside the connector or brike a wure away from the sensor , a close look may show the problem ----

 

My spelling is terrible
