Hi guys, I had my '01 R1100R in for some check up work this past week and when I picked it up yesterday I was told that the O2 sensor caused a code to trip that it needed to be reset. The guy said he reset it 3 times and it still comes back with the code showing something wrong.
My question is this: Did I damage the sensor when I ran it while the catalytic converter was overheated?
I had a misfiring plug that caused it to run extremely hot at one point and I know the converter was way too hot. This was something that happened when I was a few miles from home and in my attempt to get it back home, the converter was getting so hot that I could feel the heat coming off it through my left boot. That was in the cooler month of October.
Also the gas mileage is only in the mid 30's. (35-37 mpg)
Thanks in advance.
