Just a quick note. Got home from work and the mailbox had my twin manipulators in there.
The O2 Sensors are located between the cylinders and just under the tail of the gas tank.
Installation: Horizontal cylinder O2 sensor is mounted onto a tabbed bracket between the two cylinders. If you nudge it to the left hand side, it frees up. Then install first manipulator from left side. I temporarily zip tied it to the frame so I could adjust it.
Vertical cylinder O2 sensor is mounted on a tab just under the tank tail. Remove seat to gain access. Remove side panels. Remove rear tank bolt. Rock the tank back a little to get some play to lift it. Place something like a rubber mallet handle under the back edge of the tank so you can get a handle on the plug. I zip tied this manipulator to the right side sub frame top member.
Initially set both to full lean, which adds just a tad more fuel. Took a run to buy dog biscuits. Bottom end feels better, but could be improved. Return to garage, gave dog a biscuit, and turn the adjuster on each manipulator so the screw slot was perpendicular to length of unit or 9 o'clock position. This is about 20 degrees from full lean, I guess.
Took second ride, bottom end even nicer still. Tomorrow hopefully get the CO sniffer onto the bike and see how much a PITA adjusting the bleed screws are. I was able to cruise through the neighborhood at 3750rpm 2nd gear, with a little lurchiness, but tons better than before... it was impossible to think of running the motor that slow.
Still a slight "pause" from 4000 to 4250 range where the power kicks in. The transition through there is smoother. Still not what I'd call comfortable.
Bike threw no codes. Any adjustments are done with bike off per instructions.
