Hi all,
I'm installing a 2:1 exhaust on my '08 RG this week. I'm planning to add the PC-V and the Stage One air cleaner in a couple of weeks.
When I do the PC-V, it will eliminate the use of the 02 sensors as they direct that the sensors be unplugged at the wiring but with sensors just left in the pipes.
So, what happens in the meantime if I just remove the O2 sensors with the stock head pipes (unplug the sensors from the wiring to remove them rather than unscrew them from the pipes), install the new exhaust with the O2 bung plugs in it, and then add the PC-V in 2-3 weeks?
Should I park the bike between now and then, or hassle with transferring the sensors from the stock head pipes to the new exhaust, then unplug them as per PC-V directions, and also pull them from the pipes and install the bung plugs when I install the PC-V? I'd rather not have the sensors left in the pipes but unused. When it's all said and done I'd rather be rid of them if they're not going to be hooked up and doing anything.
On the labor/hassle and end-results-front, it seems it'd be a lot cleaner to just install the new pipes with the bung-plugs rather than the sensors and be done with that part of it -- But if I do that, does that mean I need to park the bike until the PC-V is installed or tearing something up?
Thanks!
