"Humm...there ya problem!"
« on: May 05, 2013, 11:18:31 AM »
Morning all...

See this a lot more as time marches on for the ABS variants...can actually u/s the sensor, for which there is a cheaper off-the-shelf replacement. However I digress.



...so the problem here is? :think1

...and how is it remedied? :thumb

Cheers, the can :-)

Well as you can see from rust marks on the sensor 'ring', it had become a saw as the wheel rotated and had chewed the sensor to destruction as a result the < 0.1mm clearance between it and the sensor.

In fact in this case the ring has begun to grind out the alloy sensor attach post. The OEM sensor protruded beyond its holder. The non-OEM sensor doesn't because it is a tad different in structure and it's now shimmed to sit higher.

Nevertheless, when I took this photo the ring was still on its merry way of destruction. It doesn't now, and you can now see a defined  air gap (but not in this photo), :-)

...so, why does this happen?

...and how to rectify it?

Just a  matter to ponder over and of thought provocation only, no more than that :wink1

Cheers, the can :-)
