I attempting to remove the nosing faring but can't see how to release the temperature sensor connector. In the past I've left the cable connected and managed to install oil cooler guards. This time I 'd like to remove the nose faring completely so I can give the bike a "deep clean". So does anyone know the trick for releasing the temperature sensor connector? The 1200 DVT workshop manual (2015) isn't much help, all it says is to take care not to damage the cable :-(
Steve I've not disconnected that sensor, but from your pictures it looks to be a simple click connector. They'll be some little tag or button that needs to be depressed as you pull it apart.
You'd think it would be straightforward but it's not easy to actually see the connector to work out how it can be released. There must be a tag but I can't see or feel it.
Have a look at this link: https://www.imperialsportbikes.com/...-air-temperature-temp-sensor-plug-switch.html The pictures might help. I removed mine a few years ago and can’t remember it being too much of an issue. I seem to recall two lugs that need easing out.
There’s a clip on each side of the connector. It’s fiddly if your alone, but if you can get someone to hold the nose fairing, then two hands will breeze it.
Yep, they made the wiring harness too short there so you absolutely struggle to unclip it. Once you have done it a couple of times it is not too bad but am reminded of another italian bike (MV) where you had to remove a carburettor to pull the dipstick out. Perseverance is needed along with patience...
I removed mine,it’s made harder by it not having much slack in the cable, I actually had more bother trying to refit it because of the short cable As nelly as stated, you need to depress the two clips either side for it to release Hope that helps
there are two clips (top and botom?) that need to be lifted on the cable part (or tabs to be depressed on the nose fairing side). I struggled but in the end undid the plastic inner black plastic that bolts to the inside of your white outer fairing bit - i think there are 4 screws
Here's a picture of the connector. The tabs need lifting, rather than depressing. As said, fiddly rather than difficult.
@nelly, many thanks for the photo as it is makes it a lot clearer what is required. In fact I just popped to the garage and released the connector
It sounds like I've got at least another 3 weeks to clean and rebuild the bike - better crack on as I'd hate to have the bike in bits when we're allowed to go out again.
