I don't know the answer to your question, but BuMp for a sick tracked out 09+. Beast looks great, I bet it rides even better.

 

As far as I know it will just have an impact on the fueling map.

 

i will ask my father, hes a life long mechanic.. will post..

*okay, yes you are correct redgecko, it should not have much of an adverse effect, considering you only rode 200 miles or so..

it will affect your fuel mapping, in some situations, dependent of ambient temperature you will run a little rich..
if prolonged of course it would cause unused fuel to mix in with oil etc, or something like that.. he was a little busy
so i didnt clarify..

yes you de require it functional specially if your tracking her as youre always in high rpm.. proper fuel mapping & management is essential..

but dont worry, not a chance you did any damage.. hell i broke in my 09 with a faulty pcv & 3/4 system.. all goood... 160rwhp now :thumbup


it will send false readings to your ecu, & in turn your pcv if you're running one, which i assume you are..

 

Thanks fellas! I'll order a spare one and mount it up. At least I didn't blow her up first time at the track!

 

no worries, any other tech questions let me know.. my old man used to be a pit mechanic for stock car racing.. hes my personal mechanic.. will work for greek food :hammer:

 

btw, repost mandatory :thumbup

 

I've never run my air temp sensor at the track.....how does that impact AFR? I also run a kit YEC ECU so may be a little different than you

Ecu goes into a defualt setting.

Cooler air bike is richer, Hot air temp is leaner. Is just one thing of many the ecu looks at for A/Fr.

 

Air Temp Sensor

Here's one for you. I crashed my R1 while racing last year and the air temperature sensor has been throwing a code ever since (all other codes cleared OK except this one). I plan on replacing the old air temp sensor with a new one. Anyone have experience with this?

P.S. I was winning when I crashed on lap 4 :thumbup.

 

I've replaced old with new. It's stupid easy and should clear you up. Honestly I don't know why a crash would effect your air temp sensor unless you damaged it

 

It doesn't make a lot of sense but I know the race plastics which the temp sensor was installed in were totally mangled. Part of the race plastics were hanging on the bike by the temp sensor where it was screwed into the air intake.

 

The wires in the back of the sensor clip might have pulled put a little bit. You might be able to re-pin the clip and reconnect it

 

Also, check the wires for breaks down to the ECU.

 

Anyone have a pic of this air temp sensor?

 

dont leave off the air temp sencor or they run shit ( rich ) and spoil the fueling . we have seen them fitted further up in airbox connecter with no problems but they must be on the loom . also the wires are prone to getting pulled out of the conecter in a crash
