Harley Davidson Motorcycle Oxygen Sensors

Oxygen sensors are typically used in fuel-injected engines. These devices measure the amount of oxygen remaining in the exhaust fumes and send the corresponding signals to the computer (ECU). In its turn, the ECU adjusts the mixture of air and fuel coming to the combustion chamber in order to optimize engine performance and regulate emissions. Thus, the proper function of the O2 sensor determines the operation and fuel efficiency of your bike. However, the lifespan of oxygen sensors is limited. Depending on operating conditions, these parts can last from 30,000 to 100,000 miles approximately.

One of the main reasons for their failure is carbon deposits accumulated on the inner sensitive element. The main signs of a malfunctioning O2 sensor include increased fuel consumption and lighting “Check Engine” indicator. Sometimes, rough idle connected with a bad O2 sensor is experienced on some Harley Davidson motorcycles. In many cases, you can find out the reason for such issues with the help of computer diagnostics. A timely replacement of the faulty sensor will help prolong the service life of your bike’s engine and retain its efficiency.
