    Talking Engine light?

    hey guys i have just fitted extractors to my VN S1 V6 and now and then the engine light will come on and turn off again, sometimes does not even come on? during a 20min drive it would come on and off about 3-5 times..
    what could this be?

    would it be because the extractors? and more flow?

    thans guys.. cheers

    most likely the o2 sensor cooling down when just cruising if its a long way down the extractors do a code check and see what codes come up

    im not loosing any power at all.. everything seems fine..

    and as for the extractors the o2 sensor is in the same place as the one that were on the stock headerz...

    my first thought was the O2.. maybie i shoud try replacing it?

    is there anything else it could most probably be? eg.. more flow and the computer has not sensed it and has to be retuned?

    check the error codes and see if any have been stored or you are just stabbing in the dark
