Has anyone had experience of one of these little chaps which modifies the signal from the O2 sensor to give an increase ( claimed ) in power of up to 10 % ?

I would never trust those things. They try and advertise those for cars as well. And besides, all it is, is a $1.00 part. A resistor you get from an electronics shop.

snake oil, all it does is tricks the computer into thinking the O2 sensor into closed loop mode, richening your mixture.

If you want more power, spend it on a good tune or put your bike on the bottle.

Triumph didn't use an O2 sensor in TT600 fuel injection, so it wouldn't do anything at all.

It would have been amusing watching me searching for the O2 sensor :hammer:

I've not come across a fuel injection system that doesn't use an O2 sensor, How does it compensate and control the mixture without one ?
