ABS II problems,(yes another one)

[George]

I've read somewhere else there's an "aftermarket" source for the sensor, maybe you've found it.

ive been looking at cherry hall effect sensors online and i think this will work,http://www.alliedelec.com/Images/Pro...H/70207358.pdf

Good find Jim, that sure looks like it could be a replacement. Price?

I don't need one but:

Just sent a note to Norm (ABS guru),,, waiting for his response.

 

[jim'll break it]

just an update i got a turck unit given to me to try by one of the electricians in work, ill see will it work this weekend,
it has a little led built in so its easy to see the pulses, ill let ye know how it goes

 

[George]

Good deal, thank yur 'lectrician friend for us.

 

[jim'll break it]

well just to update the progress, the turck unit didnt work, or more to the point it did work but wasnt able to distinguish between the teeth on the toothed ring,
if i passed a screwdriver under the unit i could make the abs lights flash when it was in diagnostic mode,
so i have a honeywell unit ordered, it has a much finer sensitivity range, ill post updates as and when i have them

 

[jim'll break it]

OK the honeywell unit arrived, i wired it up, put the bike in diagnositc, and the lights flash as the wheel spins,
now i was only holding it in my hand so i havent taken it for a spin to see if it works fine but ill make up a bracket for it when i get some time,
looking good so far anyway and the honeywell unit was less than €30 and looks to be a well made unit

 

[jim'll break it]

Well it worked, i havent tested above 30 mph but below that its working grand



here it is mounted to an old final drive i have



and here it is on the bike

the sensor i used is a honeywell 1GT101DC, it cost me €24 plus VAT(Tax) from my local RS distributor, honda wanted 10 times that,
it also doesnt seem to be nearly as critical with the air gap setting, its at about 2mm in the photo,
ill tidy up the bracket later

 

[Bigmak96]

Cool!!! Good job getting that fitted and tested.

 

[George]

Just ordered one from a 'lectronics shop in Newark, NJ, $47 US delivered.

 

[George]

I jumped too soon, but still way cheaper than Honda...

Here's the best price I found with further looking:

Thanks for finding that George,,,saved for future ref.

 

[jim'll break it]

the black wire off the old sensor wiring was 12v supply, the blue was signal and the other one was negative, sorry im colour blind but ye can figure the rest from this
i had to cut a slot out of the plastic ring on the final drive to make the bracket fit
i also tested it to 70 mph today and no problems,
its a good feeling to see those little lights go out when you pull off,

 

[George]

Thanks, Jim. I won't get to this 'til end of July, after NatSTOC but suspect the part will be waiting for me then. ITMT, I have a loaner sensor from Mark I hope to fiddle with tomorrow...

the sensor should fit in the standard bracket, i had to make one because i broke the mounting bracket off trying to remove the old sensor, it was wedged in with corrosion

 

[George]

Best news yet (except for how it reflects on my maintenance skills ): I found my ABS problems. Turns out the original rear wheel speed sensor is bad, just as the flashy lights tried to tell me months ago. Replaced it yesterday with Mark's "spare". Also, found the front modulator problems,,, I had left the connector unconnected while doing my preliminary tests back in early April... Took me this long to get a 'Round TuIt and pull the tupperware to get n there and find it... Quick test ride yesterday and all is good to go... And I do mean GO! Soon's I wrap things up this morning, I'm off like a prom dress in the spring.

Honeywell replacement is on the way (per notes above), and I'll get Mark's spare back to him soon's that new one is in place.

 

[sofawizard]

if your sure the sensors done theres an easy way to remove it just looks kinda brutal take a drill through it in ever bigger sizes till you can colapse the outer and saves the mounting bracket from breaking

 

[Bigmak96]

Good news George. Glad one of us has ABS now.
