Kawasaki Z1000SX - Service manual > Crankshaft Sensor Installation

• Tighten:
  Torque - Crankshaft Sensor Bolts: 5.9 N*m (0.60 kgf*m, 52 in*lb)
• Apply silicone sealant [A] to the crankshaft sensor lead grommet and crankcase halves mating surface on the front and rear sides of the crankshaft sensor cover mount.

  Sealant - Liquid Gasket, TB1211F: 92104-0004

• Replace the O-ring [A] in the crankshaft sensor cover with a new one.

• Install:
  Crankshaft Sensor Cover [A]
• Tighten:
  Torque - Crankshaft Sensor Cover Bolts [B]: 12 N*m (1.2 kgf*m, 106 in*lb)
• Run the crankshaft sensor lead correctly (see Cable, Wire, and Hose Routing section in the Appendix chapter).
• Confirm that the drain hose and clamp are installed securely and run the hose correctly (see Cable, Wire, and Hose Routing section in the Appendix chapter).

Crankshaft Sensor Inspection

• Remove:
  Crankshaft Sensor Lead Connector [A] (see Crankshaft Sensor Removal)
• Set the hand tester [B] to the × 100 Ω range and connect (+) lead to the yellow lead and (-) lead to the black lead in the connector.

  Special Tools -
   Hand Tester: 57001-1394
   Needle Adapter Set [C]: 57001-1457

Crankshaft Sensor Resistance: 376 - 564 Ω

If there is more resistance than the specified value, the coil has an open lead and must be replaced. Much less than this resistance means the coil is shorted, and must be replaced.

• Using the highest resistance range of the tester, measure the resistance between the crankshaft sensor leads and chassis ground.

Any tester reading less than infinity (∞) indicates a short, necessitating replacement of the crankshaft sensor assembly.

Crankshaft Sensor Peak Voltage Inspection

NOTE

• Be sure the battery is fully charged.

 

• Remove:
  Fuel Tank (see Fuel Tank Removal in the Fuel System (DFI) chapter)
  Crankshaft Sensor Lead Connector [A] (see Crankshaft Sensor Removal)
• Set the hand tester [B] to the DC 10 V range.
• Connect the peak voltage adapter [C] to the hand tester and crankshaft sensor leads in the connector.

Special Tools -
 Hand Tester: 57001-1394
 Peak Voltage Adapter: 57001-1415
 Type: KEK-54-9-B
 Needle Adapter Set [D]: 57001-1457

Connections:

• Turn the ignition switch and engine stop switch ON.
• Pushing the starter button, turn the engine 4 - 5 seconds with the transmission gear in neutral to measure the crankshaft sensor peak voltage.
• Repeat the measurement 5 or more times.

Crankshaft Sensor Peak Voltage
 Standard: 2.0 V or more

If the tester reading is not specified one, inspect the crankshaft sensor (see Crankshaft Sensor Inspection).
