Okay I have replaced many single wire O2’s with heated ones on throttle body injection cars and trucks. One of the most common the Chevy astro van. On the neighborhood soccer mom’s van a heated sensor gets the ecm to closed loop in seconds instead of minutes and doesn’t cool on extended idle time either most short trip drivers see 2-5 mpg improvement.
So why tell a bunch of people on a motorcycle forum about mini vans?
I was thinking about warm up fouling spark plugs when not going for a long enough ride that if vehicles that use the same sensor and ecm logic benefit greatly then maybe the same mod would benefit the bikes as well.
If you don’t want to cut and splice any wires there’s kits for TBI and TPI cars with headers that have problems with O2 sensors cooling off that are almost plug and play.
