Default Crank Position Sensor

How long do these typically last? My bike seems pretty dependable at 32k miles, but if this item goes bad, I suspect she won't be starting. How often should they be replaced?

Its like a magnet...Just take it out and wipe it off....then you good to go! Got a friend with 65K on his 1999 Road King. just wipes it off about every 10K and it keeps on going.

The same goes for your speed sensor in the trans.it will need an occasional wipe.
