- January 21, 2012, 10:50:43 AMThat's really a shame. I bought mine out of a barn with a broken trans. It had been sitting for at least 3 maybe 4 years...Making it new again has been my mission, and I've put 22,000 miles on it since spring of 2010....Are you sure the sensor is really missing, or are you assuming that? Does the efi light come on when you turn on the key?

- January 20, 2012, 21:51:59 PMthanks troll i just wasnt sure if there was a way around it.um there is a recall onit but i think without the old one they wont give me a new one.and i know that my father inlaw didnt bring it in for the recall.he also had a power comander on it he said that it would just load up and it ran like crap. so i took it off.i think i should check a few other things like the kickstand switch ect.cause i have no spark or fuel.i would really like to just get her goin again for him cause the bike has not seen the road sence 06 its only got 3200 miles on it.
