O2 Controller - Need urgent help

Hey chaps

Some might recall my recent dyno run that looked incredibly lean. As a result I ordered up the O2 controller and Kev mod which arrived today. I just fitted the O2 controller, went for a spin and it is completely unchanged. No difference anywhere. I even stopped by the roadside to unplug and plug it all back in again but really there's no change for better or worse.

This gives me a major problem. In 4 days I leave for a 1500 mile round trip to Skye. If I can't figure out this controller by Thursday, this year's trip is going to be by car.

I never did think my XT was too juddery, but I did expect to notice some difference with the O2 controller.

Any ideas?

Edit: I noticed that Kev states "The closed loop is used for emission control, it comes into effect after a coolant temp of 70 degrees C...". What does the bike do between cold and 70C then? My test was only 5-10 minutes as I expected immediate results from turning the key. Could it be that the coolant didn't reach temperature?
