Cam Sensor Questions - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

-=Jeff=- · 02-28-2019

Few questions. Where do we buy the replacement now? Jerry?

Also for those of us who had a cam sensor failure what were the symptoms?

While I don't believe mine is having issues, I was looking into something else and was curious on these particular symptoms

any input?

THANKS

Do a search. Plenty on here about. You will get a code 31 if I remember correctly. In my case it would intermittently just stop running! A member here builds a replacement sensor. I have the prototype and it has been fine for 18 months now. As you have discovered the cam position sensor is now NA.

-=JEFF=- all I had was a SES code 31 that would consistently set in the DIC. I replaced the sensor and the Code 31 went away. GC

Is Jerry making the sensors or will Phil make some more sensors. For a week or so the sensors Phil Made sold like Hot Cakes

I’m having a hard time getting the new cam sensor back in. Any tips on getting it back in. Also, what about the shield? Leave it or put it back on?

Thanks

Rub a little motor oil on the bore entry in the head and on sensor o-ring and it should push right in with a slight twist. Shield should be put back on again.
