Harry, did you replace your bushings as well?I just rebuilt the front forks on Missy, and it was easy. Just takes time and patience, not much technical skill. The seals cost $16 each. That saved me a lot of money.

Thanks for the quick reply..do I have to remove the whole exhaust system? I hope to work on it this weekend..There is no air gap adjustment - you just screw it in place. The cover screws are 6 mm thread so they require the normal 7 ft-lbs of torque.
Thanks again for all of your help..I hope I can tackle it this weekendThe muffler has to be removed and both headpipes loosened. Someone on this site mentioned being able to remove the cover without loosening the headpipes but I couldn't manage that on my bike. The front headpipe nuts are a cinch to loosen but the rears are very tedious because of the lack of space to swing a wrench.
The crank position sensor is the little black top at 2 o'clock in the photo, facing the reluctor (the toothed wheel).
It really isnt a bad job....like any bit of wrench spinning, just take your time...I am a note taker......Thanks again for all of your help..I hope I can tackle it this weekend
Go to the search bar and type in clutch cover removal there is a link that walks you through the process of CPS replacement and it is very well written I replaced mine about a month ago and the link helped ALOT as I have no service manual good luck jtHI all, I need to replace mine, I got the 19 code, hot /no start condition here in South Florida. I have been searching the manual and the site, there are a lot of posts but one thing I am unsure of is the parts list needed. Is it only the sensor? No gasket or other small bits? If no gasket, I assume some gasket goo is needed based on one of the pics I came across here. I did find how to test it in the manual, but nothing on remove and replacing it. Thanks for any help.
This is the part number I'll order, just didn't want to do that if I needed some others.

Yup! I remember working on the Brit bikes. We used red hematite and that was only temporary. Sooner or later (more likely sooner) what ever you sealed would start leaking again... and the Brits accepted that as normal!"...A gasket isn't offered by Honda...MikeSim.."
If the case & cover are nicely machined, only a sealer is necessary. It's something the British industry of the 50s-70s, never understood!
