Revolution Counter Wire

[Doc Stephenson]

2006 K9 Bottom Front Left of the engine block is a wire connected that counts revs and timing obviously. It has 2 connectors in the wire and comes off very occasionally while riding. This kills the engine. Not a big deal, just reconnect and back in business. My question is obvious, is there a better way to secure this connection?

for my information: what is the proper name for this wire and function/system, etc?

Crankshaft position sensor. Sounds like the connector is broken and not locking in.

Isn't there supposed to be an allen head bolt to hold it in??

I believe they are talking about the other end. That would be too obvious?

Sounds like he is talking about the VR plug, mine was wore out as well and wouldn' stay in with the vibration...I got this and no problems since. It' a common problem.

Thank, so much. This is a great idea!

FYI, this is the cable connected to the stator not the crankshaft position sensor cable. i.e. this is the cable just to the outside of the position sensor cable. it has 2 male plugs.

Search 'Amazing Goop' so you know what to look for at home depot. Use very little so the wires hold in place.
Crank sensor kills the engine
Stator says the battery runs 'total loss' until the volts drop from 12v and then kills the engine. That's my understanding.
