I have got to the stage where I'm attempting to remove the mid pipes on my 848 Evo so as I can swop the rear shock over. After 5 hours hard work I have the pipes just about to pull free but It appears that what is preventing the pipes removal is the Lambda sensor, which is hitting the swing arm. Is removal of the Lambda sensor just a question of undoing the nut, I don't want to twist all the 4 wires going into the top of the sensor, which unless I can find the other end of the cable where it disappears into the engines innards is going to happen, or is there another way of removing the sensor without twisting the wires? Any help much appreciated.
Cant you dangle it out of the way, use a bungie to hold it up? Fwiw I diteched mine and put a bolt in when I had the ecu done, coz you think its hard getting it out: wait til you try and put the pipe back on and get the fecker back in the swingarm hole...
Piss poor piece of design by Ducati. I've been struggling for about 6 hours now, at last managed to extricate the mid pipes, albeit with the lamda sensor still connected. Its now ready for what I started to do I'm still interested in how to remove the Lambda sensor for future reference if anyone can advise.
I just unbolted, but its easy to trace back to the connector first. I may even have a pi in a box still somewhere...its a terrible design, even a know nothing (pedant notice, its not 'no' its 'know') like me used to whip out a shock, remove cans etc quick and easy, where this takes hours
Hi john. The connector for the lambda sensor is next to the connector for the exhaust servo motor. If you look at the R/h crankcase, find the breather pipes that go into the belly pan. The cable for the lambda is inside the metal clip holding the breathers
The Bastard things in now. FFS it's been a PIA job, 7 hours and I'm now putting it back together. I did trace the Lamda sensor back to the plug, but I managed to do it by leaving it still connected. Thanks for your help and advice chaps .
Ian tbh I forgot all about a ride height adjuster until I started stripping it all down! Very straightforward to fit one though compared to what I've just done. T break job!
