Fault Code 19

[marc11]

Any encounter this fault code? Went on the other day while riding down the highway, reset when I shut the bike of at my destination, and then went back on about 2 hours into my ride back home.

Official report is the Pulse Generator or wiring aka crank position sensor or wiring.

Does not seem common, just checking before I pick up a replacement crank position sensor.

Don't think it is a common failure on st 1300 . don't mean yours is not bad. I
replaced one on my gl1800 Valkyrie for intermittent hot soak crank no start

As said, this is not very common (at least I've not read of many posts about this on this website). I don't believe in coincidences. Since you have replaced two of them, maybe its something you ate?

I didn't replace two of them. The fault code appears during two separate rides of over 90 minutes each and did not appear on any ride shorter than that so far.

Try asking @Tdinova. If I remember correctly it was he who was chasing an intermittent problem for quite a while that turned out to be a defective crank sensor. His thread has been lost but maybe he can describe what some of the symptoms were in his case as a comparison.

OOps, sorry, I combined your post with vstrom.zrxdude's post in my mind and thought you had two such failures.

Tdinova here. I never had any codes but after 30mins of drive the bike would stumble like it was out of gas. Turn the bike off wait 5 mins and away I go. Yes , I changed speed sensor, fuel pump and filters, plug caps and wires, new spark plugs, fuel pressure regulator, both coils.... crank sensor was my fix.. I spent ~1500 on parts but I enjoyed the experience ..

Enjoy

Thanks. I ordered a new sensor. For $80 it was cheap enough and the error code points to it or it's wiring. I have had unusual stalls too a stop and it would die but start up again. Who knows.

Easy to replace sensor on st13, my gl1800 is bigger job,and needs new trimming cover gasket,Lots of failures of crank sensor on gl1800 forum.

Yeah seemed to be right there on the front cover.

30 mins remove front black V and left lower & middle cowl. Go easy on the connection... put some oil on 'O' ring. Check for metals on the end of the old sensor. Metal will send wrong signals . If some are found, clean and retry you bike. While wait for part check now... it could be ..... ..
