Why only an O2 sensor in the rear header on my X1 ?
I assume as there's only one choke feeding both cylinders, we can also assume the fueling and everything else is working the same on both cylinders ?

Forgive my ignorance :oooops:

cost :idea:
or could it be that the rear cylinder is the one that will run the hottest (lack of direct airflow)and if we look after that one the front should be ok

:yt: plus it allows a leaner front map (with corresponding ignition timing map) for efficiency at cruise...

But it has its downsides too...

Thanks fella's. :) Pash do you mean it allows a leaner front map, with corresponding ignition map, if it' re-mapped. Or is it already mapped that way ?

Cheers,
Mick.

Not sure on the X1 but the XBs yes.

Mapped like that... But there are shortcomings...

O.K. thanks. I was just curious.
I'd rather run a bit rich than lean.
I've never owned a bike with an O2 sensor before. Or FI, thinking about it!

Thanks for the replies.
Cheers,
Mick.

No no, honest, it's all new to me. I work on boats.

Had some fun tonight in my Mates garage though ;) (Mines not built yet, so I'm borrowing one)

It's a rusty piece of shite I bought! lOl I'm still adding lightness :)
