Parts for the ignition crankshaft sensor replacement. The official name of this part is the Pulse Generator. That will be the name used by Honda when ordering the part.

In order to get to the crankshaft position sensor the front lower cowl will need to be removed. A new gasket will be necessary.

So why am I replacing this part? From the research I’ve done the issues I have been having are related to the pulse generator. The symptoms are intermittent starting issues. The starter motor will crank like normal but the bike will not fire up. It keeps on turning over.

Some guys are saying a weak battery will do this and that’s a possibility since the battery I have is probably the original. I do keep the battery on a maintainer when not in use. So this is a slim possibility.

I will change out the part first to see if the intermittent problem completely goes away.

Note * I rode all last week without the starting issue so this is not an easy problem to troubleshoot.
