Per xb12x manual:
Install O2 sensor 4-101
1. Apply Loctite Anti-Seize Lubricant to the threads of the sensor. Make sure anti-seize is marked as safe for use with O2 sensors.

2. 40-45 ft.-lbs. (sounds a little tight to me)

*My book indicates a Snap-on Part no. YA8875 to remove O2 sensor from the exhaust header. (No idea what it is though.)

that Snap-On part looks something like this.. .



FYI, you can get a similar tool as the Snap-On part number above from most auto parts places. I picked one up from Advance Auto for like $11. Worked like a charm.

I would recommend the offset style O2 wrench vs. the slotted socket type due to space but i think some have been successful with both.

Many universal O2 sensors come with the anti-sieze on the threads from the factory.

I can't speak for the OEM Buell part.

Yep, I've done this job myself and put in the bosch sensor. I used a 'crows foot' to remove the old one. Piece o cake job but just a little time consuming.

I went to sears and got a 22mm crows foot. That worked pretty well with leverage.

Craftsman makes a real short 7/8 in 12 point box end wrench that works just fine.
