The concern is that the freer-flowing exhaust will cause a lean
running condition. My take: It's unlikely to make any difference if
you ride moderately.

My understanding is the O2 sensor controls the idle fuel trim below
1500 rpm. The system lacks the inputs (from a maf sensor, for
example) for full-range control. Instead it recieves data on throttle
position, rpm, barometric pressure, coolant temperature and others and
selects fuel delivery, timing etc. from a 'map' (the tune) for those
conditions. Add a freer-flowing can and the map needs to be tweaked
for optimum operation.
