honestly it is not difficult...no timing, fluids or major tools
But you must be able to cut a straight piece of allen wrench i believe size 3/16 at about 1/4 inch long or a bit less..you just want it to stick out of head of allen bolt...then use a small 3/16 wrench to turn it..there are just two allen bolts that will require this procedure on bottom of cone OR you could remove exhaust...your pick..
sears has a set of little wrenches for about $20 for 10 piece set.
craftsman 10 pc midget combination wrench set it has a number 9 underlined and then 42319..
*just remember any backfire or bad start in the future will cause the code 56 to show up..to erase you must disconnect battery.
let use know how it works out..even if you go to dealer.

 

I'm going to try it myself if you say I dont have to mess with the timing. I've never done that plus I dont have the tools to do the timing.

 

I got the sensor out today. Actually very easy getting it out the hardest part for me was actually getting it unpluged. My hands were just to big to fit in the space provided. Eventually I just cut the wire since it wouldnt be needed and pushed the plug out behind the t-brace. The sensor was really melted it looked like a puddle of frozen chocolate milk in the bottom of the timer cover. Now just waiting on the new one to come in from the stealer. $170

 

either get a new timer cover of your choice or clean/strip the aluminum V2 cover of its protective coating and polish...it will look like new..need the "closed end rivets" dealer has them if re-using original cover and if you have rivet gun ...some people have used self tap screws..others have just threaded the holes in inside cover and used some allen head bolts from lowes hardware or ace...remember to disco. battery to erase codes.

 

I put the new sensor in today. It was a breeze. Also replaced the V2 with a new live to ride cover in the process. The bike fired right up although I didnt take it for a ride its only 21 degrees today. I want to thank everybody for their help.

 

congrats and did you remember to clear code?
disconnect battery and reconnect.

 

I did. Thank you very much im you have been a big help.
