... The early non heated sensor has a response time of ~ 100 - 150 mS. New, they are faster and as they age they slow down some. The newer small (12mm) O2 sensor have a response time of ~ 10 - 12 mS. The Bosch LSU series sensors have a response time of ~ 220 - 250 mS...
Was that one of the reasons HD moved the sensors in 2010 tourers?
Or was it that they no longer needed to be so close to heat up first?
Or something else?
I was looking at mine and the pipe has an angled dent (for the want of a better description) to angle the sensors ...I might have thought that would have caused turbulence, rather than getting a better reading?
Gordon - angled. I believe that is a Bosch spec as well. As for the indent causing a flow issue, I have no clue. I am sure it has some effect but what kind, eh.
For me I would tell everyone, you need to take what ever tuning device you are going to use and record data from it on a 100% stock bike. That means NO parts change of any kind! That will give you something to base your decisions from. Trying to look at TTS data and compare that to something else, will give you something you cannot compare to another device.
The TTS product records data at higher data rates than any other product, so when you look at it you are seeing much more of what is really going on. While it still is not everything the ECM's see's and uses, it typically is double or more, than the rate of anything else currently on the market. An example would be 2012 Dyna collecting tuning data, SuperTuner records ~10 fps, Power Vision records ~ 12 fps. TTS records ~48 fps, so graphing things typically paints a different picture from others.
We internally use high speed records here to see everything the ECM does, to help us in developing things and those really look different! On the same example bike we are looking at data rates of 220 fps, which is as fast as we can get it from the ECM and about 2 times above any ECM internal updating in the ECM.
If you all would like I can find some Bosch O2 specification to post.
