    Hi guys.Has anyone got any experience with these hall effect sensors http://www.jaycar.co.nz/productView.asp?ID=ZD1900I am curious to know if they last in the ignition of our bikes in particular the R1150GS. They look like a far cheaper alternative to buying a new unit from BMW.Adrian

    BoGSor is the man to talk to about these. It requires a small amount of mechanical skill to mount the hall sensors (there are two on the plate) to the plate and fit the plug to the wire. Also timing will require resetting. Fortunatlty this can be done statically on these bikes.Do a search on ADVrider website

    Yep they work just fine had some in my ruffy for a few years now. They where a problem with the wiring on the 1100 but not such a common problem on the 1150 has your bike stopped. They are easy to check in place. Remove the front cover drive belt and bottom pulley with the ignition on pass a feeler guage through the sensor the injectors should click and the plugs should spark. Note both sensors must be working even though you will get a spark on both the plug leads from only activating one sensor because of the double output coil.http://advwisdom.hogranch.com/Wisdom/oilhead_hall_sensors.pdfboGSer

    Thanks for the replies guys. My bikes fine I am just looking at doing a bit of maintenance this winter so was looking at various things on my bike that might need replacing, more due to age of bike than anything else.Trying to decide whether to add it to the list. The obvious way is to acquire an old knackered unit and swp the HES unit over for new ones and carry that on the bike.. Then the ones fitted o my bike will never fail 😉Adrian
