Air tempearture sensor failed
 

Hi:

Yesterday my ten started to surge a lot and it was unable to keep idle below 2500 rpm. It was clearly a fueling problem and I managed to get the bike home.

1 hour later I found the problem, the air temperature sensor was reading (using the yam tool) 81�C !!!!, after checking the resistance it was about 1500 ohms at room temp (about 18�C yesterday).

Now I'm running it with a 2K7 resistor connected to the loom since I was unable to find a spare on any dealer in Barcelona :(, tuesday is a national holiday and none of them work on monday :( I have to wait 'til next Thursday.

BTW 23€ for a NTC thermistor and some plastic is an abuse, I will repair the old one with a <1€ thermistor just to have a spare.

I guess it is an NTC 2500, correct me if I'm wrong.

have fun,

j.

Nice work there mate.
