    Hi guys, I have a Yamaha XJ6N 2009. I changed the OEM exhaust. Now I need to eliminate the oxygen sensor. Can someone help me? I have 4 wires. 2 white, 1 black and 1 gray. I think it's necessary to connect a 330ohm resistor between the black and the gray wire. And another 1Mohm resistor between the two whites. Or is only a 330ohms resistance between the black and gray wire enough? Thank you for your help.

    found this on another site Some years ago, in a small coastal Irish community, Paddy married a woman, Maggie, half his age, All was well at first until Maggie took delivery of a ‘woman's’ magazine and began to read things about sex. It soon became clear that she had never climaxed during sex and, according to her Grandmother, all Irish women are entitled to a climax once in a while.. To resolve the problem, Paddy and Maggie went to see the Veterinarian since there was no doctor within thirty miles who could be relied upon not to gossip. However, the Vet didn't have a clue about people. But he did recall during hot summers, his mother and father would fan a…
