  3. Looks like an air temp sensor. What does the other side look like?

  4. Looks like a sensor wire type thing. Not like an abs sensor

  5. Also would it be better placed in the air duct or just on the clock bracket ?

  6. Pretty sure there's a specific location to install that. Can't remember exactly where but it certainly isn't in the air duct.
    Do you have a workshop manual?

  8. Not really, it's Italian. Yes it looks like the air temperature sensor. Sometimes fitted with small rusty torx bolts. Much fun. Situated between the forks under the front fairing.
