Does anyone know what this is?

[The Bearded Duc]

I've torn down the front of the bike before but have never thought to ask.

What the hell is this?

I'd say it was an ambient air temp sensor...

but you say you have an '01 M750 which would be carbed, and a carbed bike wouldn't have that part.

I assumed it was some kind of temp sensor. It's on there though, hooked up and all.

I guess I don't really have a need to get rid of it, I was just wondering what it was.

And your bike has carburetors....

not throttle bodies?

I need pics.

Pretty sure its carb'd. Carb'd tank and Speeddog has already worked on it.

What do you want pics of, the carbs?

If Nick has worked on it and says it has carbs I don't need anything.

It is kind of odd that a carbed '01 bike has parts from a FI '02 bike.

I don't believe Ducati is that forward thinking,.

I have the same piece on my 2001 900 and had it on my GF's 2000 900 (both FI of coure) . it was broken on my GF's bike so I never replaced it as I didn't know what it was. It doesn't seem to make a difference.

He never actually said "your bike is carb'd" but I've never asked either. Just kind of gathered that myself when I bought it and from playing around on here. It's also got a carb'd tank, two hose hook-ups and one smaller screw hole for the fuel level sensor. Give me a minute, I'll get some pics for you.

since recent ownership and tinkering around with my bike, I too discovered that exact same part minus the bracket.   My bike is a 2000 Monster 750 and is 110% carb'd.  What does it do?  Does it need to be there, because I find it a little unsightly in the big opening below my gauges and in infront of my top triple clamp

If I'm right, and it's a temp sensor...

rip it out....

I'm wondering if in the year 2K they made a chassis for the bikes...the 2K 900 had fuel injection, but also had the ignition of a carbed bike

The 750 was carbed, but had the wiring for the injection.

curious

This as good as I could get without tearing the airbox out, it's getting dark and I have work soon.
Hope they help.







I snapped this one too, if these numbers mean anything to you Nate.

That air temp sensor is also used on carbed bikes with electrically heated float bowls, like in your photos.

There's your answer

[avizpls]

why?

So it is needed?
