Thank you,yes,obviously don't want to get heavy handed with sensative components like these.

Also carb cleaner is not recommended,  as it is rather aggressive.  But in my opinion we are obsessing about a thing,  that just needs to be checked for fine operation,  e.g. the door opening and closing freely.  If it does,  just spray the inside a bit and put it back together.  Having the bike operational again check for air leaks methodically,  measure the resistance of the water temp sensor at various temperatures,  and so on...

Soggz,  as I recommended earlier,  go easy on that thing,  never ever touch it,  a fine spray of contact cleaner or MAF densor cleaner is all it takes.  If you touch it it is very fragile,  so if it breaks, you will need an another MAF sensor assembly. Since your bike is not running well,  you will not have a benchmark,  and you might never be able to realise,  the heating element is the culprit of a really badly working bike

The doohickey(technical term) in the MAF throat is not there to tell if the engine is warmed up.  Rather, it measures AIR temperature very precisely so as to determine it's density/mass.  Air is much denser at colder temperatures than hotter temperatures.  It makes it possible to more accurately calculate the amount of fuel necessary to be injected.

Engine temperature is measured by the water temperature sensor in the cooling passage behind the radiator. 

It appears you need to go back and review the Jetronic Manual.

Thank you. I only wanted some sensible answers. It does seem an unusually complicated piece of equipment,and one that I am not famililiar with,but I like to get to know the bike and all its working parts.

Maybe a high altitude switch for the Jetronic unit? The wire routing wouldn't suggest that, but I thought I would...

I'm guessing a reputable company doing an enclosed shipment will cost you between $500 and $650.  With the cost of airfare to Flordia I would say a fly and ride will cost less than shipping, and be a hell of a lot more fun.  Three days/two nights if you're in a hurry.  It's an excellent opportunity to have a nice trip if you can take a week. 

If the bike starts and runs, it's almost a sure thing it'll get you home.
