Narrowband to Wideband O2 sensor adapter

The wwdeband O2's purpose it to allow you to use Autotune and build your own a/f maps, as the stock narrowband O2 cannot compensate for those changes.
And you have to have that adapter so the wideband fits.

No, their adapter causes no harm.
Most dyno tunes are set it and forget it, some bikes are running multiple maps, say a 93 octane tune, and an E85 tune.
Autotune is the same principle, but instead of getting a dyno reading, making corrections and building a map, you get your readings from riding with a data logger, which reads engine sensors and a wideband, and uses this info to build a map.
Autotune is for a select group.
The guys that can't get to a dyno, and
the guys that want to build their own a/f map. And alot of those guys are drag racers.
The reason they use it is because drag racing is fighting for every last fraction of second and mph, and if your bike was tuned on a nice, dry, 65°f day, it'll run great. But, when it's 90°, nothing runs great with the heat.
So, autotune it, make changes in real time based on the weather/conditions.
If you are one of those guys, autotune is worth looking into.
If you're a street rider like alot of us, a dyno tune is the quicker and easier choice.
Or, even a mail-in basic ecu flash is beneficial, and can also have a better a/f map added in.

I personally wouldn’t but if you’re getting the bike dyno tuned, as you mentioned previously, you don’t need your own wideband sensor. The dyno operator will have one, it’s the sniffer you see them putting in the exhaust.
Auto tune doesn’t make changes on the fly. That’s called closed loop and Woolich doesn’t have closed loop tuning.
From Woolich link below: “wideband O2 setting does not influence the fueling in any map, its is purely for allowing wideband AFR data to be logged along side engine data” and “When you install and enable a wideband O2 sensor in Advanced Settings, the stock narrowband (closed loop functionality) is disabled.”

I know the auto tune cannot make it's own changes in real time...but, in hindsight, what I said it doesn't really read that way. I said make changes in real time, as in datalog then and there, and You make the changes in real time.
I don't know of anything with the sort of capability to plug in and tune itself.
I am sorry for the confusion.
