Reconnecting the Sensors

The crankcase has two electric sensors to reattach:

  • The speed sensor, which is for the speedometer and odometer. This sensor installs at the rear end of the engine, toward the right-side. It secures with one bolt, torqued to 7.2 ft-lbs. Install it now.
  • The neutral gear sensor (aka neutral switch), is for the green neutral light and the neutral-start safety circuit. This sensor installs at the right-side of the engine, near the drive axle (one bolt, torqued to 7.2 ft-lbs). Install it now.

If you previously disconnected these sensors from the connector-cluster at the top of the frame’s seat-tube, reconnect those couplers now. See the service manual for details.
