    ive got a Taylor Made on my 2012 blade and have never been 100% happy with it. It sounds odd but at around 4000 revs I get this resonance that goes through the bike and me. So I fancy a change. I've just picked up a yoshi carbon and will fit it this week.

    At the moment the Taylor Made doesn't have the thread for the O2 sensor so I've removed it and put a resistor across the open plug socket so the engine management light doesn't come on. Since I can now use the O2 sensor with the Yoshi is it worth fitting it back? Would the air/fuel mixture improve?

    I'm also going to fit a PC V so would that consider the reading from an O2 sensor?

    Any help appreciated

    A PC5 would come with an O2 eliminator so just buy a sensor bung, PDQ near slough sell them (sensor bung) give them a call

    The PCV makes no use of the stock O2 sensor, as SPS said it will actively ignore it!

    The YOSHIMURA should come with blanking plug as well... Hence I removed my lambda sensor completely from the bike.

    Thanks gents, I'll have a look at the Yoshi kit when I unwrap it.
