how critical is the placement of the air temp sensor for my 2000 x1, can i self contain it right under the tank in its own filter element, or does it have to be in the intake filter element. problem is i bought a forcewinder with no provision for the sensor, i may be able to cut a hole in the back of it, but the filter looks like there is no room for it. also would putting it in the coolest place possible help performance?

Your best bet, is, on the back of the air filter element, ream out a small hole, and push the sensor in there...

You really do want it in the intake stream...

I've also seen people stick the end of it in one of the grooves in the K&N element with the rain booty thing holding it in.

My own cheat:
I rerouted the breathers to the street and I used a filter for an M2 that has only one hole in the back for the breather.
breather hole becomes temp sensor hole : )

Listen to Chase, thats what I did am very pleased. On an unrelated issue, thanks Chase. Advice you gave on lean mixture worked like a charm. Plug is goldy brown now instead of white.

No worries, glad I could be of help...

AS long as I can keep SOMEONE(since I cant keep myself)} on the road, I am happy...
