Temp sensor and top gear m695

[Saint aka ML]

Two questions serious one:

Does the air pressure/temp sensor and/or engine temp sensor influences how bike runs?
It seems to me that when it is so cold that engine temp does not even display LO on dash (no reading at all insterad) and/or if my air/temp sensor is disconnected bike is very sluggish, lazy at low/medium throttle till it warms up to level that engine temp the least reads LO.
Funny it starts perfect either way.



2nd question what is the point of 6th gear on m695? It cannot hold top speed the moment there is incline bigger then slight, it cannot accelerate when over 95-100 mph it seems like complete waste. Extra weight and all :)

I've always seen the 'LO' indication, never just a blank display. Just how cold is it where you are?

I agree that 6th gear is useless. Maybe it wouldn't be if you went up a tooth or two on the rear sprocket?

Maybe 6th is an economy gear, or for long downhill stretches :)

There is no economy in it, you have to do same as to scooter just to keep it going about same speed ofcourse we are talking private m-way :)

It was only one day yesterday and it was colder then all other days so far. I was also thinking cable disconnected but jiggling did nothing.

Then I started the engine and went home. It was sluggish for about 3-4 min and then temp read LO and all was good in instant.

Same speed but less revs in higher gear = economy

He right until you hit a gentle sloap :P

'LO' is oil temp.
The air temperature/pressure sensor is critical. The ECU can't calculate how much fuel; to squirt into the engine unless you give it information about the amount of Oxygen it has to burn the fuel, this information comes from knowing ambient temperature/pressure.

AH ok so the LO when it is not displaying means there is no engine.

Honestly bike felt to pull ok but everything was like delayed until it changed from --- to LO.

If you've been tinkering with it, you can hardly expect it to run normally... :chuckle:

Maybe it was a Dutch bike originally :)

Hu? It is running normally just differnet to carburated one.

Paivi if you still have your bike maybe I could borrow dash from it to fix mine ;)

If you disconnect the air tempsensor then it will run rich.

[Funkatronic]

could that cheapie sensor you found be the problem?

did you get DuctaiDiag working? that will tell you if the MAP sensor is working

otherwise could try unplugging altogether and seeing if there is any change

Step away from my 695! :eek:

Good call will check that it was 12GBP ;)

ONLY WITH A DASH HEHE
