Come on, you didn't like the pink?

and I think the display is for oil temp.

F the pink.

It is a oil dipstick. It gives oil temp and level (corrected based on oil temp). Trick setup for sure.

interesting. another thing i dont think id trust, it it battery operated?

Gas Man · 11-30-2009, 12:55 AM

Its not battery operated at all. Its simply a assembly of resisters and whatever.

already looked it up, it is. 3v button cell.

Sure gas was talking about the wiring, not the oil dip stick.

Who gives a shit what you trust. It's not your bike, don't worry about it.

So this thing is basically a resistor that sends back a constant value, right? If so, sounds exactly like the Dynojet O2 sensor eliminator, which you can get for only $20. Only difference is that it only plugs into the ECM side....... the O2 sensor doesn't need to be connected to anything anymore.

The ecm takes a reading and compensates the fuel. With the resistor, your ecm is still compensating, it's just thinking it's getting more air. So, it adds fuel. The benefit is, it continues to be dynamic and change injection rate due to altitude, temp, and load etc..

If you would remove the o2 sensor altogether, it would not be able to compensate.

In a nutshell, this device allows the bike to continue to compensate for various situations, but richens up the mixture at the same time.

so, while mine just returns the same value all the time, his actually uses what the O2 sensor is saying, but modifies the value?
