A couple weeks ago, my 2010 NT700 didn't want to start up right away after shutting down briefly. When I got home, I pulled up the code and it was 19, crank position sensor. I had to wait a couple weeks, but finally replaced it today.
The job is fairly straightforward and has been talked about here several times, so I won't go into details. I do want to mention a couple things that I noticed though.
First of all, I didn't have to do anything with the headers. They were left installed and tightened.
Second, the biggest problem BY FAR was removing the mufflers from the headers. A real pain,.....a lot of liquid wrench, pulling, twisting, banging with a 2x4, some creative speech and a torch to heat things up....and it finally came off. Funny thing, it went right back on easily using a little banging at the muffler end with a 2x4 piece.
The only other thing of interest is MAKE SURE your center stand is down or at least lowered. I worked with the bike on the sidestand for easier access to things, so the center stand was up. When you do that, the center stand stop that is on the muffler will lock the center stand up and you will have to loosen everything up to bring it back down.
Total job was 7 hours for me. Might have been a bit quicker if I wasn't 74 lol.
So....the job isn't difficult with the exception of removing the muffler....just a bit tedious removing the body work to access the engine side panel.
