Update on O2 manipulator

[RUFKM]

I've had mine installed for 6 months now.  Best thing you can to a duc for under $100 IMHO.  As far as I'm concerned the thing should be installed where the espresso selector switch is on my S4RS so adjustment would be a snap.




I have gone back four times after it was "Running Perfect" and leaned it out a bit.  The throttle seems to gain a little snap when it's running a bit lean.

I ordered one of these today. I'll be back home for thanksgiving week and will post up how it works on my 2006 S2R1000 with full Ti Arrows.

My bike has allways run fairly well with the full Arrows Ti System, baffles in, and stock air filter. It does sometimes have some of the surging though so hopefully this eliminates that and makes is a bit smoother.

Any one had recent experience with this and a similar setup?

I have the exact same bike and setup,I have the Fat Duc in for six months, it fixes all the issues I had with the bike, ie surging popping, lean with the no power feel. I recommend this to all S2R owners I meet. I was ready to sell the bike due to it being a pain in rear to ride. Buy it and be happy

My install took 5 minutes and just for any 695 owners the connectors are in the same position as the hyper, lower side of the horizontal bar in front of the rear cylinder ( have to find another place to put the manipulator but I was in  a hurry)
My 695 is typical popping, hesitation, the famous 695 pop from the air box and ran like crap from 2500 to 4000 RPM's, like most 695 owners with out a DP ECU I just live with it.
After the install I immediately noticed my idle was different not  rough very smooth and faint smell of gas. Took the long way home about 60 miles freeway and about 20 miles of canyons. NO MORE POPPING! there were a few right when I took off by by the time I got to the freeway on ramp it was not popping at all. On the freeway I noticed the surging was gone as well and part throttle smoothness was there as well no more dead zone between 3k-4k. When I got to the canyons all I can say is wow! smoothness across the entire RPM range has really improved, no hiccups just nice delivery from 3K to 8k. I did everything I could to make my bike pop or exhibit any of the tendencies (closed throttle from wide open at 8k)it had before I installed the manipulator but so far they have not returned.In the city I can cruise along in traffic at 2500! and its just friggin smooooooooooth, so far I have put 119 miles in. Today I took off to work and my bike usually runs bad until its really warm, surges, pops, hesitates really bad. but this morning NO, I just got on took off and it just ran very smoothly cold. My idle is a little higher (about 12 1/2) but I can live with that for now.
I set it at 13.2 and today I will try 13.5 and see how that works.
I am very happy my bike runs like its supposed to Thanks Jason!

BTW is there any way I can adjust the idle?

Hiya,

I know your post is 4 years old, but I'm there now where you were 4 years ago and just found this O2 Manipulator stuff.
I have a 695, and the popping is really annoying and also the bike is really hesitating at static throttle position, while it should go with a static rpm it is hesitating 100-200RPMs then about after 4500RPM the whole thing is gone and works like charm.
Also when warming up the RPM is so unstable sometimes changing even 700-800 RPMs..

Would you say the O2 Manipulator will solve the problems what I have above?

It won't be a complete cure, but it will improve it quite a lot.

I put a fatduc on my 695 ~18 months ago, and it was a huge improve.

I have found so many positive oppinion on this FatDuc stuff, so I just ordered it. Will see how it works, I'm excited.

Thanks.
