For those that don't know, a wide band gives you your exact afr, not close like a narrow band but exact. This makes plug chops/reading seem like the dark ages, sorry to all the plug readers out there.
After selling my last car along with my Innovative LM1 wideband I have been wanting to get another one and something smaller. These have come way down in price in the last few years making this even easier to justify. I bought an AEM gauge wideband from Ebay. I used an old acid stained muffler and welded a bung to it and connected the two wires. In one 3 minute ride I now know I am too rich (11.8-12:5) at cruise between 4-5k rpm. Too rich at WOT under 4000 rpms, It dips to high 10's/low 11's for a second as it stumbles, I knew I was rich but not how much. WOT from 7500 - 10,000 is pretty perfect at 12.7-13.2. I am a little lean at idle but if I richen it up my bog at 4k is worse. It has been a year since I did the carbs but I think I set the floats 2mm too high. I will try dropping them back down and then see what my WOT 7000 rpm+ looks like. I will throw the POS pods that came on the bike this weekend and see what that shows first. I remember the bike being not so user friendly at lower revs with them. For those that like to tune this is a must have.
AFR looks good but the choke was still on some
