    Default Lacking a Oxy Sensor

    Hey

    I'm just doing a clutch change on my VN SII, and noticed when I took the front of the exhaust system off that the hole where the oxy sensor goes is plugged and the wire that pluggs into the oxy sensor is dangling and looks like it has had a wire put in to bridge the connection.

    What I really would like to know is are manuals ment to have oxy sensors or is this for auto's only?

    Cheers

    Hey All

    It is a NZ car, and the consumption is far better than the consumption of my VP auto wagon that has an O2 sensor (I'm talking $20 lasting about twice as long as in the auto).

    Do you guys recon there'll be any advantage to running an O2 sensor now that we can only get unleaded over here?
