I dont plan on doing any splicing, just locate to wherever the wires will reach.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #479732 out2lunch (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 314 Re:Sad about pipes 1 Year, 1 Month ago   When I bought my '08 I was riding it home and noticed a problem. Turned out to be missing O2 sensors. I had one from the PO but needed to purchase one. The back cylinder's O2 sensor connects behind the right side panel. It required that I splice some wire to make it reach. To this day, the back cylinder plugs are richer than the front and occasionally, at constant throttle, I get some stuttering at low speeds... Wonder if it's because of the splice?????????   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #479754 theGRINDER (User) NO REGRETS!

When I bought the extra sensor I ran across a site that actually had an extention for this application. But for the life of me, when I went to purchase the sensor, I couldn't find it again. Since I'm experiencing this rich condition in the rear cylinder, I may take it apart, desolder and go find the exact gauge, material and strand count wire to replace the splice with cause I'm sure I just used some wire I had sitting around. Anyone else think this could be the issue?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #494319 Roadstar_Rob (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 299 Re:Sad about pipes 12 Months ago   Yamaha sells an OEM O2 sensor extender for the FI Roadstars.. When I installed my Yamaha Speedstar long drags an extender was needed and came in the factory box in a Yamaha part bag. You should be able to order one from your local dealer...   Logged     2009 RoadStar   The administrator has disabled public write access. #494338 Dysan911 (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 334 Re:Sad about pipes 12 Months ago   I've already been down this exact road. Here's is some very helpful info. http://roadstarclinic.com/component/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,187/func,view/catid,13/id,329642/ Also I extended my O2 Sensor wiring and did not experience any issues whatsoever. Been running perfectly for a few thousand miles with no ill effects.   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/05/22 20:30 By Dysan911.   2008 Roadstar Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #494342 fireman922 (User) Schrodinger's Cat - Wanted Dead & Alive Platinum Boarder Posts: 5161 Re:Sad about pipes 12 Months ago   We use O2 sensors at work and extend the wires all the time, with no issues. It is a thermocouple that needs special consideration when you hook it up.   Logged     Ask me about my attention deficit disorder or my pie or my cat. A dog. I have a bike. Do you like TV?

Fireman, do you extend the wires with the exact same gauge wire? And what special consideration? Are these things easily damaged? I didn't do anything to the sensor that I'm aware of but, hey, you never know.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #494380 fireman922 (User) Schrodinger's Cat - Wanted Dead & Alive Platinum Boarder Posts: 5161 Re:Sad about pipes 12 Months ago   No. The sensor leads get the plug lobbed off and tied to a term box (12 ga wire), to a PLC cabinet (14 ga wire), bunch of terminal strips, fuses, etc. As long as you are making a good connection and have limited current, wire is wire (within reason).   Logged     Ask me about my attention deficit disorder or my pie or my cat.
