New Gas Analyser for my GS

[AOD]

This voltage is created when the sensor is heated to between 360 degrees centigrade (680 F) and 900 degrees centigrade (1650 F) and varies between zero and one volt.

hmmn...maybe i should let it run longer?

Hmmnn, do you have any fitting instructions mate? My "Black Box" has 3 wires, coded red/black/green, red goes to positive side of battery, black to negative side of battery, and green goes to the sensor.

When I connect it (it doesn't have an on/off switch) it will display the base setting of 14.7:1. OR the letter L (for lean, so it looks like your meter is functioning correctly ) I start the engine, and either ride it or warm it up for a few minutes. (mine gets hot pretty quick with the big bore kit and cams etc, so I use a fan to lessen the risk of overheating)

Once properly warm it will display the actual fuel air ratio on the digital display, and the LED display will point to either lean or rich. When I switch the engine off, the meter reverts back to the base settings.

I think that you've connected it all correctly, so maybe your splicing job at the sensor isn't good (doubtfull) or perhaps the sensor isn't working? I had a look at the pics you posted of your sensor mounted in your exhaust system, I don't know how long yours is, but with mine, it protrudes into the pipe about an inch, to catch the exhaust flow passing through the pipe.

If your sensor doesn't actually protrude into the pipe it would take longer to give you a reading, I imagine. :twisted:

mines goes in about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch...because the bung is 1/4" thick at least.

i think it didn't work because i didn't let the bike warm up enough. i picked up some better splice connectors yesterday...i may try to hook it up again.

Good Lord Joe, that looks seriously painful. Did you manage to keep the bike upright when that happened? Or did you just toss it away?
Doze.
P.S. hope that doesn't take too much longer to heal up.
