adv northwest Posted July 6, 2020 Hey Guys, got a question for ya. I had a 2016 exc for about 4 years and absolute loved it. Put a ton of hr's and miles on it so sold it to try something new and instantly regretted it! I recently found a 2016 XCW500 with just 250 mils on it that just needs a DS kit and ill be back in business!!! So here is my question..... Changing the air filter I noticed looking up inside there is a little white nob coming down into the boot from the top. I changed my filter dozens of times on my EXC and never noticed this so just checking to be sure there is nothing wrong. Just seems really weird to have something back behind the filter where possible water or dust could get in. Thanks in advance for you help!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sirthumpalot Posted July 6, 2020 What is on the other side of the boot, what does it connect to? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sirthumpalot Posted July 6, 2020 It looks like a sensor, no way for dirt to get in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Meyerson Posted July 6, 2020 Looks like an IAT sensor to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spud786 Posted July 6, 2020 That's the Air temp sensor, maybe what adam posted is the real name. your other bike had it too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
