Running Bad Cold - Problem Found

[Propstrike]

Just to pass it along... My '08 XB12 was running bad anytime it was at less than 100% of running temp. It was choking and trying to die and when cold. For the first few miles on the highway the power would vary. Even hot it didn't seem like all of the power was there. Seemed like it was running very lean so I checked the temp sensors, TPS, injectors, etc - saved the O2 sensor for last because I had always thought a sick O2 sensor would default to rich.I replaced the O2 sensor with an $18. Bosch equivalent from the car parts store - that was it! Runs great now.

At about how many miles did this problem start?
Just wondering when O2 sensors may start to go out.

Redshift42 - The bike had the problem when i bought it at 23K miles. I have another XB12 with 22K that hasn't had any problems at all.
