[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 1321124, member: 277"] Sufficient. Umm, since it is one of the core group of sensors that the ECU relies on I expect that Yamaha has specified an adequate part. The ambient sensor is a different type sensor and on a motorcycle it's hard to find anyplace to put the sensor where it can make a valid free air measurement. If your FJR is parked in a garage where the floor isn't sun baked and the bike is shielded from the sun the ambient temp reading should be fairly accurate when you first turn the key on. Once the engine is started and the bike is in the sun and on pavement, all bets are off, it's just a trend indicator at that point. [/QUOTE]
