July 15, 201313 yr My rear brake pistons must have been sticking, so I headed home as direct as I could; when I got there pads were smoking. Anyway, long story short, rear brake hose melted and leaking a little. Okay so I´ll change the hose. Easy to say, the hose is navigated through the swing arm, and I have a Reenvio Hall (BT280034050) sensor making it a bitch to slide out. Was so close to just cutting of this sensor cable, but to be honest I´ve never come across this type of sensor before, so I thought I´d better ask first. Any ideas if useful, its clearly electrical, and is situated near the rear brake disc. Help idle speed, lights, timing, I googled it but didn´t get a satisfactory response. Cheers if you know p.s. whilst here, I removed my airbox and stuck on a solitary pod air filter, seems to go well. Any viewpoint on this?
July 15, 201313 yr Just the giver for the speedo... No opinion bout the airbox exept I wouldnt do it.. -Jan
July 15, 201313 yr Author Thanks for the speedy response. Wow, never seen its like before, looks like it works via magnet or infra red, anyways thanks.
July 16, 201313 yr That unit is called a "hall effect" sensor. Basically, there is a magnet on the wheel that passes the sensor and sends a signal to the speedometer. This is the same type of sensor used by many electronic ignition systems to trigger a spark at the spark plug.
