O2 sensor eliminator — why?

[immgunn_imp]

I don't think the oxygen sensor heater is meant to "clean" the sensor. The HO2S won't generate a signal until it reaches around 600 degrees F. Almost all sensor heaters only work a short amount of time because once the engine reaches normal operating temperature, the heat of the exhaust is sufficient to maintain 600 F. I'm pretty sure the proper fix for a "sputtering" problem isn't defeating the closed-loop/feedback system, but unless/until my bike sputters, I'll likely never know. Wish me luck.
