Been looking for a replacement pulse generator for the CX500T
read the old tread and just looking for confirmation on the part number

Is it standard motor product part number LX579
My barn find need one for the engine speed sensor code 09
I"m thinking that its a good time to change both sensors
Just received my new Reman ECU from David Silver Spares and now the fuel pump cycles when the Ignition is turned on and the bike runs
and the active code 9 is on

There are quite a few threads on this topic. Your understanding is correct about part number. eBay shows them from $12 to $163, so watch the price from your parts source.

note, if you find a bad sensor, quite likely you will have a lot of corrosion you will need to clean up. Likely going to need to replace the mechanical seal. The seal failure. Let’s coolant into the compartment and is usually the root cause failure With a sensor being secondary

Hi
Thanks for the confirmation of the part

Yes my plan is to do it all when its apart
both mags pickup and seal and water pump seal
I have to pull the bike apart any way
I'm doing a full restoration on the bike
I'm making a list of parts and having things lined up before I start

This is not meant to scare you, but be carful around the camshaft. It is cast, so dont put side force on it your you may break it like others have done. If something is stuck, go slow, pull straight. Maybe ask questions and others can give you ideas how to proceed.

Just want to give you a heads up as it is a real bummer when a camshaft is snapped. Very hard to find a replacement.

If you do happen to snap off the cam shaft, I have a spare one I'm looking to sell.

If you do happen to snap off the cam shaft, I need one ( seriously )

It's all fun and games until you snap the cam or crack the magnets....

To clarify as it might not be totally clear. You are looking for a SNAPPED CAMSHAFT or a GOOD CAMSHAFT? I am thinking you are looking for a SNAPPED CAMSHAFT to investigate how to repair or do some sort of modification, would this be correct? You might also want to clarify if you want a 650 or a 500 camshaft.

The part of the cam shaft that snaps is a pressed on piece. I got as far as making a drawing of this with the intent of getting a batch made. However my machining source let me down unfortunately and it didnt happen. But I do still have the drawing and a spare cam shaft.
