Coming from someone who totaled his 04' VFR and injuring his knee. I think you already passed the first hurdle by getting back on another bike. With seat time, you'll regain your confidence and be back to your old self. For me, as soon as I can walk I went out and got another bike. I knew the longer I waited the less likely I'll get on another bike again. Thanks to a great group of friends that I ride with, I slowly worked my way back. Just take your time and hopefully things will return to normal.

Sorry to hear that Shayne. If I wasn't up till 3:30am this morning I would definitely have been on the ride. I know on rides you and I put up we always ask for contact info. Can't say enough all the points you stressed. I hope Dean isn't hurt too badly and wish for a speedy recovery. I maybe paranoid but this is the reason I won't ride alone in the twisties. I want to make sure I get help as soon as possible and not risk it by chance if something were to happen.

Here's my understanding. Both the PC III and O2 sensor help with air fuel mixture. With the PC III you can set your own air fuel mixture ratio. The O2 sensor determine if the air fuel ratio exiting a gas-combustion engine is rich (with unburnt fuel vapor) or lean (with excess oxygen). Information on oxygen concentration is sent to the engine management computer or ECU, which adjusts the mixture to give the engine the best possible fuel economy and lowest possible exhaust emissions. (information taken from Wikipedia) If you leave the O2 sensor in tact (no eliminator), what ever you set in the PC III will be over ridden by the O2 sensor. There by acting as if you didn't have a PC III. Someone with much more knowledge and better understand can provide a better response or correction to my post.
