Just a thought, Oxygen sensor to check mix?
Really just a thought, but I was wondering if you could use the oxygen sensor from a fuel injected bike, to rig up a rear-time meter that would tell you if the mix was right?
I assume that these sensors are used to tell the fuel injection management system, how rich or lean the burn is.
So could you theoretically plumb one in around the header exhaust pipe area, and wire it to a display somewhere, that would tell you second by second, if the mix is right?
It could tell you if the bike's running rich at high revs, or needs to be leaned out all through the range, or at what altitude the bike's running best etc.
It would just be interesting to know accurately, what the bike's doing. Not necessarily for an overland adventure, but maybe to get the bike setup right before you leave, or to know how you need to jet when you climb mountains.
What do you think?
