Title: LM-2, clutch disengagement, fuel level sensor
Post by: dan miller on April 28, 2011, 05:52:15 PM
I'd like to hook up an LM2 to my M900ie, and see what the A/F looks like while riding.  The sensor bungs in the exhaust pipes appear to be smaller than my 18 mm sensors.  Does anyone make a smaller sensor? 

I typically utilize my index finger and thumb to hold the left side bar, and operate the clutch with the remaining three fingers.  Problem is that I can't get the clutch completely disengaged, as my index finger prevents "bottoming" the clutch lever.  Any ideas?

I removed and fixed my fuel sensor.  Pried off the rubber cap and fussed around with the float until it was free.  Then flushed it out a bunch through the small fill/vent hole in the side of the float assembly housing.  Took about 15 minutes to get it clean and loose.  Works fine now.

I'm not aware of a small wide-band O2 sensor.
AFAIK, the OEM bungs are just for hooking up an EG analyzer.

I had a couple of standard bungs welded into my pipes.

Do you have adjustable levers?

Glad you got the fuel sensor working, they're pricey.

Hello Nick

Thanks.  I'll probably weld bungs in.  Should only need one.  Yes/no?

Levers are adjustable, but it appears that they only adjust the "starting point".  Shorter throw = more effort (still not much), but the same "ending point".  Yes/no?

One more thing to fix, the horn, and then I'll be ready to attack the tail.  The horn works, so the issue is on the switch side.  I took it apart and fixed it mechanically (maybe - lol), but didn't check the circuit.

P.S.  I SURE LIKE bar end mirrors!!!  Thought they were "goofy" (as in recumbent bicycles), but it's really nice to see what's going on behind you.

Also getting used to, and liking,  the brakes.  Rode a "lesser bike" - which should include all bikes - the other day, and consistently had to "get after" the brakes towards the end of the stop.
