Default O2 Sensor ? for PCV install

I'm in the middle of installing a PCV on my bike and the instructions for the PCV say to disconnect the O2 sensor electrical plugs on the sides of the motor.

My questions are:

1. Will dissconnecting the sensors throw a trouble code? Will it throw a trouble/warning check engine light on the dashboard?

2. What size threads are on the O2 sensors and where can I get plugs for these at?

My setup will be a Arrow GP-2 slip on, BMC street airfilter, and a PCV.

Input welcome....

1) No and No
2) Just leave the O2 sensors on the headers, then you won't need plugs.

Ok, thanks for the input.

I just wanted the plugs to clean up because the O2 sensors are useless after they are unplugged.

Personally, I wouldn't worry about it. You'll be buying a full system soon enough anyway Natural progression... slip-on, exhaust valve mod, PCV.... then go on and get the full system

Yeah, thats what I'm doing. Income tax time and waiting for the right deal to come along. I may also just put on the 16 tooth front sprocket and leave it as is and remove the O2 sensors.


I would still like to know where to get the plugs from incase I take the 16 tooth option.

All,

I'm still looking for the thread size for the O2 sensors so I can replace them with plugs due to a PCV install.


I know I can leave them in, I would like to remove them since they are useless now.
