o2 sensor fail

anyone have a o2 sensor fail?

First off let me say I have a 10 streetglide. About 3 years ago I put a pc-v on it which has you disconnect the 02 sensors. A week ago I upgraded to a PV and hooked them back up. Bike ran ok but I tried the auto tune option which helped but then it got worse. Ran real rich and had a delay off idle. I checked the codes with the PV and it had a "rear o2 sensor not responding" code. I am guessing that since I left the o2 sensors in but not connected that it might have ruined them.

Well, I ordered a new rear sensor which will be here in 4 days.

Well, I've changed hundreds of them on cars and I think one is about done on my road king at 25K. I get the occasional rear O2 high code.

I have replaced both sensors now and made sure they are in the right pipes and still both throw not responding codes. I guess to the dealer it goes.

not shure watz up with your scooter but ive read alot about 02 sensors and they usually just become lazy,replaceing them every so often also improves gas mileage and in cars saves the cataletic converter...
