O2 sensors. Yes or no??

They're simply another tool to use in the tuning process...fewer tools usually means a more mediocre finish.

Unless you are using a tuner which allows access to the ECM's AFR/Lambda table you will need to bypass the O2 sensors. If you have a PC III you need to use the O2 sensor eliminators as listed in the instructions otherwise the ECM will force closed loop and essentially undo any tuning changes you have made and adjust the mixture back to 14.6:1 AFR and it will likely also throw P0131/151 codes. Also note that the factory nb02 sensors are only helpful when requesting a mixture of 14.6:1 (+/-.5)

Both setups will provide a great tune when done properly. I would base my decision off of what is available for a base map, whether you or a trained dyno tech is doing the tuning, and what you are planning for mods for your bike either now or down the road.
