I don't. Pcv set up by fueli MOTO. Volumetric efficiency at this point doesn't mean jack..different topic for different post. Sorry to OP for going astray.

I'm gonna chime in with a vote for Jackpot headers. Bolted right up, take stock shields, and have 4 bungs. 2 are in the OEM location for OEM O2's, and 2 let you install the wide band sensors if that's your preference.

Great for reducing heat and enhancing exhaust tone.

Mount the pipe, plug the bungs, get PVC from fuel moto for your year and what ever slip ons you might later buy and your set. No O2 sensors required with PCV. Call Jamie at Fuel Moto, and he will tell you how it can be done.
Ride On.

If you have the O2 sensors to monitor and enable the ECM to slightly correct AFR to keep the bike running within the specified map parameters, why not use them?

So these adapters may not be an easy fix and may actually cause issues.

While most appreciate saving money, some of these "devices" could cause you to spend more dollars in the long run.
Good point.....hopefully someone who has used this mod will post.....Thanks.
