Great! So it's ok to just disconnect the O2's then? It's '12 and came with Cobra Powerpro fi2000, not well thought of here but at least it's decent fuel management albeit simple. Looks like a very good install but who knows. I've seen the O2's of course not sure exactly how and where to unplug them without damage. Thanks so much for your time and help!

I made a video on how I disconnected my O2 sensors on my Cross Country Tour if it will help you.

But I will try and let you know what happens

When I unplugged mine got better mpg and better performance

Local dealer done this repeatedly

Your the first out of about half a dozen... Best of luck with it and keep us advised.

As for out of fuel scenario, I believe more to do with shipping and time on the floor that creates situation that mimics or does cause. Finding a Dealer that knew how to do the reset, rare. The procedure is right out of the manual.

Cobra tuners do not work on Vic's.

stalling comes from the IAV and you blipping the throttle ( which you can't do )

Well Vis you are right, rode again today no blip and no stall. Tranny has a little learning curve, she does like higher revs. It died once in a slow but nasty 'rider error downshift'. One of those "WTF did I just do?" moments after a long ride that reminds you to get focused and learn her ways. Frankly in the late 70's BMW bikes clunked like this, if not more, but were the most reliable IMUO.

Paul thanks so much for the video and very well done BTW~! I'll check out the other videos because coming back to riding after 10 years engineering and technology means more to learn. Then again back in the day bikes were not even close to this reliable. So far I'm absolutely loving this bike and will post after say a month or so and what happens w the Cobra. Feel like leaving well enough alone but a few hundred miles could change that. Thanks so much Guys~!

Totally disagree with the myth of you can't blip a Vic. I and other Victory riders I know blip the hell out of em and I can't ride or drive any manual without doing it automatically. If you scoot is stalling on blipping, reset the ECM as noted in my earlier post. Won't cost you a thing other than 5 minutes of your time. Then let the blipping begin...

On another note, why won't they work as I am considering...

So the other day I took my 2012 XC out for about an hour ride. Every was fine until I was getting off the interstate. I held in the clutch a little longer than usual and the bike stalled. I pulled to the shoulder and it fired back up with no problems whatsoever. I rode for probably another 25 minutes and everything was fine. Has anyone else had this problem? Is the bike just too damn lean from the factory or what?

The bike idles around 800-1000 rpms (my best guess from the gauge).

I had stalling issues with my 12 CR and pulled the o2 senior , plugs. Checked my clutch sensor. No real results. This year I read up on whats the best plug for our 106. Iridium IX ngk. Put them in and I had a new bike. I've gone over 1500 miles on them and not one stall. I plugged my o2 sensors back in. 42 to 57 mpg. About $10. A peice at AutoZone.
