    Does anyone know the thread and pitch size of the lambda sensor on an 08-11 blade? I've just bought a yoshimura r77 used off ebay and it came without a lambda sensor bung and the internal thread where it would go in the exhaust is cross threaded. So I need to try and re-tap it and then find a bung from somewhere...

    Any help would be very appreciated!!

    :)

    Will the lambda sensor not screw in at all??

    Sorry i can't help mate, i'm sure someone will be along shortly who can though...

    Have you mentioned it to the seller, maybe get a few quid back??
    I may have a bung as i didnt use mine (it's just closed nut) i have just left the sensor unplugged at the top and used the o2 eliminator. i'll have a look later.

    No can't get the lambda sensor in and since I put the PCV and o2 Eliminator on I've removed the lambda sensor, would just cut it and use it as a bung but the exhaust hole needs re-tapping. Looks to me like an M12 thread but the pitch definitely isn't 1.75mm on the lambda sensor so who knows! :)

    On CB1000R it’s definitely M12x1.25 fine thread as I bunged it following fitment of a PCV, - don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t be the same for a blade!
