Mossy Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 Can any one tell me a part No. or make/model for the 4 pole plug & socket used to connect the O2 sensor to the loom on a XVS1300? I want to build the part for the sensor mod but cant find the connectors (825 ohmn resistor in the ground wire, white one) Thanks...
Moderator drewpy Posted June 21, 2010 Moderator Posted June 21, 2010 have a looksy here for connectors http://www.autoelectricsupplies.co.uk/about.php or here http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.eu/VWP-onlinestore/home/homepage.php
clarke Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 For anyone else who wants to make one, you can find the instructions here: http://vstar1300.pbworks.com/Jack%27s+O2+Mod Ashamed to say I bought mine from Alchemy bikes for the much over priced £70!!!! Was told by Roy @ Alchemy that it cost so much as he had to pay the guy [Jack] to research and develop the mod. When I got it I couldn't believe how small it was. If it had been £30 I could have lived with it, even though it'll only cost about £10 max to make... now feel like my wallet was raped! Since then I discovered the above and found out Jack posts on many US forums + is happy for anyone to make these. Jack also sells them in the US for $50. He used to ship to Europe, but he got a EU supplier [good for him] so can't ship now. I'd advise anyone wanting one of these to make them as it's only 4 wires, a resistor and two connectors... Oh, as for a review, the O2 sensor certainly helps somewhat with surging at low speeds - can just about hold 30mph in 3rd and doesn't lug as much. However having read further on US forums to sort it out properly you'll need to change the air filter and ECU (they also suggest drilling the stock exhaust or replacing completely) - if you want to buy any of these I'd strongly suggest importing from the US as you'll save a fortune over buying from anyone in the UK! Mossy, if you do discover the correct part please share the wealth so no-one else gets bent over for an unneccessary £70!
Mossy Posted June 22, 2010 Author Posted June 22, 2010 I have sent photos of both parts of the connector to both of the companies listed above, lets see if they can I dentify them. If so Ill post a parts list and suppliers parts No.s
Mossy Posted June 22, 2010 Author Posted June 22, 2010 Neither stock them, one said Yamaha bespoke part! the Yanks have found them so they must be out there somewhere...
Speedshop Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Try looking for ecu or fuel injection plugs. Thats not a Yamaha only item, cost them too much to design and develop a one-off plug.
clarke Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 Check out http://www.easternbeaver.com/Main/Elec__Products/Connectors/Sealed/SM-MT/sm-mt.html - it's a US shop but looks promising...
