A 2,5kOhm NTC thermistor in series to the original IAT NTC fitted inside the airbox fool the ecu thinking a colder air is actually sucked (near 10°C colder) adding a little more fuel to the mixture (5%).
Thank you so much for responding.
Your idea is absolutely brilliant!
Do you have a picture of your installation? If you don't, that's ok as I think I get your idea that the thermistor ~also~ has to be within the airbox along with the original one in order to ~also~ sense the intake air temprature. I'm going to do this just like you did.

Thanks again,
Greg

Thanks Greg,
you are right, NTC must be put in the airbox, i placed mine on the side before air filter, it's fitted through a drilled 5mm hole then sealed with RTV silicone.

The closest Thermistor I can find is 2K OHM. It's nicely encapsulated and has leads on it. Would that work? Do you know what percentage mixture richening that would yield?

It will give a slightly less enriching , nothing to worry about.

Why not use an adjustable 5ohm unit?

Great.

Just ordered it from Walmart for $21.


Thanks so much for your help.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Since I already bought the thermistor I'm going that route as it adjusts for intake air temperature.

Well, the potentiometer will allow you to adj the ohms from 0-5, that may be useful.

That would be fine except a potentiometer is not temperature sensitive while a thermistor is.

OK, so.... IMO, one could use the potientometer to dial in exactly the ohms at the exact temp, then order a correct thermistor for you exact bike. Just a suggestion.
