fried cam sensor

[Allen Pippin]

My cam sensor burned out so I ordered a new one from Big Dog. My bike is a 1999 prosport, the sensor they sent was for 2004 and newer but they said it would work. It lasted about 10 miles before going bad. I thought it was the sensor. I searched and found a sensor for my year and it lasted about 3 blocks. Does anyone know what could be killing my cam sensor ?

Have you checked your voltage when bike is running at half throttle. Maybe more than 13- 14 volts?

I did not. I am wondering if it could be the voltage regulator sending too much juice ?

VR's have been known to go bad. Multi meter will give ya the best answer.

Pull the voltage off and look at the back of it. If it looks like it was on fire and melted time for a new one. What brand name cam sensors are you getting?

I got one sensor from Big Dog and one from J&P cycle
