Where on earth can I find the IAT Sensor Plug on a 2007 Yamaha R6 Crotch Rocket? I have searched the web for diagrams and information. Anyone possibly have both?

Intake Air Tempature sensor, located around the air box on that year I think its toward the back of the airbox. But deffinatly somewhere around the airbox. Hope that helps. To identify it get a service manuals wiring diagram.

Thank you. Do you know anywhere online where id could get a service manuals wiring diagram. Or where is the airbox?

Ok lets back up, whats the problem, why do you need to get to it?(sensor)

Airbox,....under tank?

my boyfriend got a proboost platnum chip he wants to put in. the first step is to find the IAT Sensorplug.

If he can't find the airbox............ (heavy sigh)

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that he at the very least purchase a Manual.

If nothing else, buy one of those $2.98 ($14.95 S/H) Pirated CD-copies off ebay (y'know - the place he got that "chip" sans instructions?).

There are almost no "free" instruction manuals online.

You should be aware, he's probably been ripped-off. The "chip" is nothing more than a cheap-arse resistor inserted in-series with the IAT and (sometimes) Coolant-sensors to make the ECU think the air is colder, and (when on the Coolant-sensor) keep the engine in cold-start mode. Hopefully, it won't damage the engine too badly before he gets sick of fouled plugs, crappy mileage, and soggy-arse throttle-response.

The plugs are a cast-iron bytch to replace on the R6 without dismantling half the bike, BTW.

Internet Mods? Nice,... would'nt risk it, warranty doesnt not cover faulty resistor that,...custama instaw.
