Hello, am new member to forum, new owner of stryker, i purchased some cobra swept that im going to install.read the great how to write up, but just wondering what was or is the reason for the in line resistor on white wire, i want to install my pipes on today but need to know if that resistor is a must do befor i start install so i can go pickup one.
Thanks, Victor

its only to reduce the low end chugging. you don't really need it for the install

I have to say.. since I did the O2 mod.. my bike runs even better than before!

Thanks.

o2 mod?

I installed my Cobra Swepts last summer. I already had my stock exhaust off so it only took about 15 mins to install. When I removed my stock exhaust I kept it in 1 peice so it was off in less than 10 min. Took me almost 20 mins just to get the Cobra Swepts unwrapped.

While I was doing the install I added a resistor to the O2 sensor "white wire". The Cobra Swepts come with an O2 sensor extension cable so I installed the resistor (1/4 watt 820k ohm ) in it instead of cutting the factory wiring.

Thanks again to 8sec-z for the resistor donation!

Have you been able to contact 8sec-z recently? He is suppose to be sending me a resistor but have not herd from him in over 3 weeks.

Go to radio Shack to get one.

My RS didn't carry any.

$3.65 including shipping from Ebay for 50 of them (if it's holding you up from finishing). Then you could supply them to the entire board!

if any one is interested, i found a site that sells the connectors for the o2 sensors, the only probhttp://www.yamahastarstryker.com/39-my-questions/4512-resistor-question-cobra-exhaust-write-up-2.html#post81425lem is you have to order a minimum of $20 so i had to buy 3, i have 2 extra ones all done up with the resistors and everything, just plug it in and it should be good to go. the one i have on my bike has lasted over 1000 miles since i put it in, i soldered the resistor into the the wire so it should last a while, if anyone wants them PM me and ill ship them out free of charge. they are just sitting here and if i can help someone else out, i'm sure it won't cost that much for me to ship them

(2 people have already messaged me about them, but incase anyone has the tools and wants to make them yourself, this is where i got them from http://www.easternbeaver.com/Main/Elec__Products/Connectors/Sealed/SM-HM/sm-hm.html its the 4 position connector)

o2 mod?

You splice a resistor (825k 1% tolerance) in the white wire of the O2 sensor... it richens the fuel mix... from there the signal is sent to the autotuner. This richer fuel signal give the tuner more to work with... It's a bit more complicated than this... this is a synopsis of what it does... excellent mod

825k 1% work better... I tried the 820k 1st... it worked.. but the 825k is better...My opinion

How can you actually tell the difference. I have the 820 with 2%tol. And it runs great. But if the 825 is better I'll switch.

 

[Axorr]

Is this one the same thing?

[mikoloe]

I thought this resistor was a permanent fix?

Yep...
