Wee Lambda sensor in Glee?
« on: March 29, 2014, 20:19:27 »
So, my friend has just bought a new Glee and wanted to install aftermarket exhaust from his old wee but thread size of sensor is different.
Does anyone know if he could use the the sensor from wee? It has the same connector pin.

Thanks

If the plug is the same I suggest that it would do the same job but as you say the thread is different there for, it won't fit unless you cut a new thread in the exhaust which isn't an easy job

North American Wees don't have Lambda sensors and I'm very happy with stock exhausts. I have zero experience in the area.
Pat- 2007 DL650A was ridden to all 48 contiguous states. 2012 DL650A outlasted me.
Nicknames I use to lessen typing, Vee = 2002-2012 (K2-L2) DL1000s. Veek=2014+ (L4+) DL1000s. Wee = 2004-2011 (K4-L1) DL650s. Glee = 2012+ (L2+) DL650s

So the answer to the issue was simple. Go to your local Suzuki dealer (Crescent Verwood) and ask for Part: exakp-lbsb1 . Acra sensor plug 18mm.
Bung from 18mm to 12mm for £11.

No need to buy more expensive exhausts for glee when you can use any exhaust for wee and add that thread reducer. All mountings and fitting are the same for glee and wee.

Job done.

Good result and thanks for sharing. That's even more useful knowledge accumulated! :thumb:

Mods - could this be added to the info compendium?

Which exhaust did your friend install?  Was it a full one or just an end can? Cheers  :)

It was the full after market exhaust. I will find out the make. What I can say is that it was the 3 pice system - can, connector pipe from can to the pipes that run under the bike and that v pipe system that links to the down pipes from each cylinder. Just like the GPR
