It seems that nine and a half years is the design life of the wiring loom on my nine and a half year old 1150 GS Adv...
The latest discovery during the winter refit is that the plug that fits into the Air Temp Sensor (on top of the air cleaner housing)...
...has become detached from the wiring loom. It looks...
...like a fatigue failure - the area is quite a busy one, with lots of extraneous electrical connections (heated clothing wires etc) living in the area, so it has probably been bashed about a bit during its life.
So...
How do I fit a new plug onto the broken wires? As you can see, the wires are broken flush into the current plug, so there's no way (or at least none obvious to me) for me to use this one. I can't find plugs listed as a separate item on the parts fiche - does anyone know if they are available?
What are the possible consequences of running without an input from the air temp sensor?
All advice appreciated...
Cheers,
Mike
