Failed Hall sensor

Post by oyster »

Just read Bill Bob's ' Non starter ...again' thread and am curious.
Just how many here have had a Hall's sensor fail?
I am up to 30k with no problem yet, is it too young?
Oyster. 1999 R1100S. Almost original.

Mine's got 72.000km and no problems. My fuel pump did give up on vacation last year though.

Haven't looked at my Haynes manual yet so what is a Hall sensor and what does it do?
