If it's NOT a learing PC (or closed loop type system) then you have another problem going on.

Scan the ECU for codes and see if it's telling you O2 sensors are out of spec, or reading too low. (which is why the ECU went full rich.) The O2 sensors should fluctuate, and if not, and they stay too lean or too rich, it could set a code.

If the light came on, andd stayed on, a hard code should be there.

Part # is 29253-08A. Directions say to use stock breather bolts? Other than that, kit was complete? Something not right?? I have the PCV, It's suppose to be programmed by nitro fuel for my bike? Gunna call them, make sure info is correct. I ended up putting stock back on, bike ran fine, engine light went out. PC may be fine & sensing the extra air being sucked? Directions tell you to cap the stock O2 sensors w/ provided plugs, takes them out of loop?
thanks Dave
