Well, I don't either! The little bit of current that it would receive while connected would not seem to be enough to burn off any serious fouling. I would then expect that as the exhaust heats up, it would remove any fouling that might have accumulated while the bike was warming up.
In their video the Power Commander people don't say that the O2 Sensor needs to be removed after installing their Optimizer (Bypass) Plug.
However, I just don't want to risk the Sensor in case I ever have to remove the
bypass plug or if the resistors in the plug fail (they apparently can get quite hot to the touch).
Has anyone used a Bypass Plug for any period of time and then removed it? Did the Sensor still work or did it throw an EFI Code indicating that it had failed?
