Had that problem with my ST1100 after a new front tyre fitted. They didn't bolt the sensor back on properly that time.  So check that it's bolted on and not loose and bouncing around.

Yep, check the sensor clearance. If too far away, the readings will be poor, and too close could cause a damaged sensor.

The gap should be in the owners manual which I don't have.

I do have the 2003 1300/1300A workshop manual in PDF and I believe there is one on site if not then I can upload this one.

Air gap is between 0.7 and 1.2mm and you would need a feeler gauge set to check that.

You can download a workshop manual from here   http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=407.0   and it will have all the info you need.
