I'm sorry, didn't know you were talking about the oil dipstick Dave.

But marko makes a good pt. What's there to trust? It only works when you push the button. Its not constantly drawing power.

tmall explained it perfectly.

If you would remove the o2 sensor altogether, it would not be able to compensate.

In a nutshell, this device allows the bike to continue to compensate for various situations, but richens up the mixture at the same time.

Thanks tmall for handling this for me.
