IAT sensor

[assclown]

Just curious about what others have done with the IAT sensor when they have gone with a performance intake (K&N or similar)??

I think disconnecting the sensor is logical? I have Carpenter Racing exhaust and they have reprogrammed my ECU.

Any response would be appreciated. I think the IAT may be making my fuel consumption wacky?

My God! A technical thread! Well done!!

Reprogramming the ECU is generally confined to remapping the fuel (& MAYBE ignition) maps, based mostly on throttle position and engine RPM.

The bike NEEDS the air intake sensor for an over-riding adjustment to fuelling - to maintain the programmed A/F ratios despite varying intake air temps... cold start, altitude, weather.....

With non-OEM intake filters, the IAT sensor should be set up somewhere very close to an air intake. People have simply zip-tied them to one air filter, others have modified a filter to insert the sensor, with a Ramair they put a hole in the baseplate for it.

Thanks for the reply.......old fart!

I know RamAir supply and extension for the IAT sensor but what other ways are there to extend it or is a matter of cutting it off and soldering some longer wires in!!!????
