The air temp reading on my '09 696 always seemed high.  Today in an unheated garage (with fan running and open doors) with the ambient temp about 36 F, I fired up my 696 and by GF's 696 (also an '09).  Once they warmed up, her bike read 44 F; seems OK, given the exhaust heat and such.  My bike ended up with a reading of 64 F. 

Could this be an indication of a bad air temp sensor?  I am worried about the ECU receiving bad info and not pumping in enough gas for the amount of air.

How does it run?
"Once you accept that a child on the autistic spectrum experiences the world in
 a completely different way than you, you will be open to understand how that
 perspective
    is even more amazing than yours."

It runs OK.  Maybe it could run better?

Is what is diplayed on the gauge cluster the same as what is used by the ECU for fuel/air calculation?
