Thumbs up O2 sensor eliminators fitted

Hi Guys & Girls

Bought a pair of O2 eliminator plugs from eBay (From greece)

Easy enough to fit after pulling sensor electrical plugs out of their mounts.

Jeft unused sensors in place as not sure if purchase would work
Eliminators fitted perfectly.

Start up with no warning lamp problems
Idles faultlessly now and totally transformed the low speed running and throttle response.

£25 well spent

Can now lug round as low as 2000 rpm and pull away cleanly
30 limits now achievable with no clutch needed to stay smooth.

Regards
Rick

Possibly should be in the technical section (engine, clutch and gears) but we can move it

I was playing with the idea of putting 14 tooth sprocket on,
but your solution will be probably easier.
Thanks for a tip.

No not in top gear from low speed but not the lumpy twitchy mess it was at part throttle
as Ducati supplied it.

I tried a 14 t front sprocket but made little difference for me.
Just hit the limiter easier for me.

Went back to the 15 t sprocket and O2 eliminators.

Works for me

Rick

Very interesting. I must say that it is the low end of the rev range in lower gears that annoys me most about my bike.

I know that the DP ECU for full exhaust systems (not the ECU for slips-ons) bypasses the O2 sensors, so they can't be essential for the bike to run well.

Can anyone think of any possible detrimental effects of doing this mod?

Sounds like a good cheap solution to the manufacturers emmissions constriction. Well done.

Folks, could my warranty be affected in any way by this mod?
I'm assuming I can handle it myself without damaging anything in the process.

From the look of it you just unplug the sensor and plug in these gadgets. You can easily unplug the again and reconnect the sensor before taking it back to the dealer.

Technically it probably is a warranty fail but I don't see how they would know you'd used them unless your bike has a data logger?

Yes, data logger was my only concern really.
Hopefully bike doesn't have it. Thanks!

Hi Rick,

I am very intersted in this mod, have fitted the 14T sprocket which impvoed long speed running but occasionally still need to apply more throttle and pull the clutch to keep things smooth.

I have Termi carbon exhaust which include ECU and air filter, will it work? And can I do it myself without visiting the dealer? Where is it located?

Hi Simon

It should work with the DP ECU as the plugs just stop the Emgine Management lamp staying on when you unplug the o2 sensors.

When I was into KTM tuning the only way to get them to ride slowly and not stall was to turn off the O2 sensor system with a program called TuneEcu but sadly no software I can find that works on my Ducati so I bought the eliminators instead.

The eliminator plugs are very easy to fit.
Just start at each O2 sensor in the headers and trace the wires back to the plug.

on the M1100 evo the rear sensor plug is tie wrapped to the inside of the rear subframe rail on the right side.

the front sensor is just behind the fusebox on the right side of the frame.

took me 10 minutes to get the plugs fitted and re fix the rear sensor lead to the subframe rail so it can't touch the rear header.

Regards
Rick

Only fusebox needs sliding out of it's clip and seat off with key.
