You need to see an eye doctor, The subject is Knock Sensors, not Knocker Censors

Thanks Brock..... but still no joy trying to find a connector... Even tried buying from partsgeek using a US postage redirection service, then partsgeek complained saying my credit card isn't associated with a US address. Not sure how that is linked up.... but anyway... might have to order a complete loom, oh well.

Dave,  I will chat with my customer who has a sister there and see if she can but and send on and we fix him up. How much roughly?

Hi All

Thought this might be of interest to someone.
The dreaded Knock Sensor raised its ugly head last month. I had it to Pro Honda in Brisbane, where a new knock sensor was fitted.
On the way to Inverell last week end the red light decided to activate again.

So I searched around and located Chris ( Honda tech) and booked the bike in with him.

Pro Honda rang today to say they have ordered the loom/harness and will fit same for no cost to me.
So I explained that to Chris and he said if I have any trouble after they fi the harness, he will gladly look at the bike.

For everyone's info Chris works on all types of bikes.

He is located at Helensvale Qld and his Mobile is 0413 171 676

Do hope this may help someone.

Cheers

Is this a common issue on the 1300?

That's why I have not taken you up on that offer of a cup of tea! Took four weeks to get the knock sensor from Japan.
And as Honda Oz has no knock sensor harnesses in stock another 2 to 4 weeks wait for that part.
Glad I am not bailed up in outer Mongolia

To answer your question Allan there have been enough cases of this problem for a couple of people ( read employees of Honda dealers) to tell me they wonder why Honda never did a recall on the bikes.

Very common problem unfortunately. Can be fixed though. I've been a Honda Tec for 16/17 years so any questions shoot me a message or call 0413171676

Mine is an '02 model, and I've never had a problem with knocking or faulty sensors or FI light coming on... Sometime engine knock can (and probably the most commonly) be caused by lower octane fuel. The only fuel I have ever used in any of my bikes ( and even my lawn mowers ) is 98 octane, nothing else.... I also get much better fuel economy using 98... 570 per tank.... I wouldn't use anything else unless absolutely forced to... And I only fill up at a BP... You might call me pedantic, but I've never had any issues with knocking...

The Octane rating in fuel is also sometimes known as the AKI or Anti-knock Index. Other causes of knocking could be excessive carbon deposits around the combustion chamber, and also using plugs with the wrong heat range. Using a 9 instead of an 8 could help alleviate knock symptoms, as it helps draw heat away from the combustion chamber, with a slightly shallower well...

Just some thoughts...
