i don't sapose any one has trailtech vapor speedo that they could possibly measure the resistance of, at some random ambient tempriture??
ive got a temp sensor but its not the trail tech one so im trying to figure out the resistor that i should buy to even out the temp guage Very Happy
if that makes sense:D

Here you go;

0 C........................273 ohms
20 C......................152 ohms
37 C......................70 ohms
100 C....................6.3 ohms

I've not plotted these points on a graph, so not sure if it's linear or not. If your sensor doesn't follow the same shape line (albeit shifted up or down), then just adding another resistor to the circuit won't give you accurate readings.

If it's a water temp sensor you want, I've a spare as I've got an air cooled bike.

cheers, well it appears to be parabolic when plotted out, which isn't too surprising,
ill do some measurements on the sensor i have and see if its approx the same and see if i can get it to work,
if you have a sensor that you don't mind parting with,
ill gladly take it off you hands for a few beer tokens Very Happy
