Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about cutting out the cat internals and welding it back up? This would not alter the o2 sensor but would it throw a code?? Thanks
Good information, thank you.well there are already systems and pipes available with the extra O2 sensor, and they don't work, there are those who have added an extra O2 sensor and again they don't work, all so far are throwing up an error within a couple of hundred miles max. Now since the sensor is there to monitor differences between the two, I assume that when you remove the cat the levels at the second are too high or two low as compared to what the ECU is expecting, I don't know why or how but big names in the industry are trying to work it out and produce a dongle that mimics the correct signal and as yet have not managed it, so on reflection its unlikely that you are going to manage it by ripping the insides out of the standard cat, but give it a go, personally I would just try with one of the aftermarket pipes either with or without the small cat, try that to prove that it does not work and then go back to original until somebody comes up with a reliable method. The issue is not the O2 sensors its the new ECU, its obviously programmed to expect a certain signal from o2 1 and a different one from o2 2, it has a range of expected values and has obviously some tolerance to allow things to sort themselves out but after so many miles it decides there is an issue and throws up the code, nobody has been able to read the new ecu and has no idea of the values its expecting to receive. You do realize that this is the Euro 5+ standard and the reason for the 5+ was to introduce a system to make it impossible to remove or bypass the CAT, that is the whole reason behind it. Given the number of people involved in the development of 5+ Its unlikely to be circumvented by "fred in the shed with a welding set" if this is sorted it will be some complicated box of electronics.
There are those will go on about closed circuit racing etc etc etc, which is fine but the only things disabled by removing the cat for such closed circuit use are cruise control, indicator etc none of which are needed for that purpose and therefore its not a problem, however its a major PIA for on road use, do you suppose that is an "accident", if your answer is yes then would you be interested in a scheme to sell snow to Eskimo's
Its already been discussed to death on other threads on the forum.
Either way its you bike you do what you like.
Hi tanks for your commentI have a cat delete on mine 901 expedition ,2024. So as you probably know in 2024 they added another O2 sensor. This third sensor is for monitoring the health of the cat. It's a post sensor. It doesn't tell the ECU to richen or lean the fuel mixture the front two do that. I bought my bike January 2024 and then put the cat delete on immediately. Check engine light came about 250 miles later and continues to do so at about that mileage. I have 2500 miles on it now. Your probably also aware once check engine light comes the cruise won't work either. I initially didn't know that and that's a bummer however I bought the Obd link LX and I'm clearing fault code to get light off and cruise to work. Yep, it's a inconvenience but hopefully there will be a work around soon to avoid this. My engine has no issues with cat off and it still gets hot even with delete kit. I did add some reflect gold insulation tape with a modified camel heat shield and got the down below 200 degrees at the delete. Just my 2 cents here in what I experienced

Hi yes it is 2024 with O2 on decat. I bought it from an Australian company (Verex) hand made because in Italy those on the market are only for 2023 (without O2 sensor attachment) however as said I had to shorten the O2 extender because otherwise the sensor touched the shock absorber. And it is still too close. But after more than 400km no alarm so far.Hi 👋 super good news
is your bike 2024 ?
could you please share the Amazon link
Thank you
Thanks I going to buy right now![]()
