I have the TrailTech cable on mine and it works fine. The hole I refered to above is the sensor hole. As Fury said, work the broken piece out gently.

eff,
The Vapor I received was for a KTM even though I ordered for a GasGas. Do you remember which brand of bike yours was for, and how long have you had it?

I have a Vector for the KTM OEM. It is a Vector and I got it last year. In a Vapor it would be Model 75-101 (Mine was an 85-101 for the Vector.)

OK I think this is why I was so confused. Here is what the sensor end of my cable looks like

Does the plastic piece pull off the end leaving just a circle shaped sensor to fit in the predrilled hole? I havn't really tugged on it yet cause I don't want to break anything.

Thanks,

That one is supposed to be mounted on the fork guard. I would see if you can exchange it for the KTM OEM one.

Ok guys I still need some help installing this pesky Trail Tech. Apparently the speed sensor that was originally shipped to me was the wrong one...intended for honda XRs. So Trail Tech shipped me a new one which I received yesterday. It has a straight end that fits in the predrilled hole in the caliper......the problem is the sensor end is threaded and the hole on the caliper is smooth. So how do I get the sensor to stay in the hole? Use JB weld? I have to use that anyway to glue the receiver to the rotor. How did you guys do it? Do i still have the wrong sensor?

Thanks,
Sam

Sounds like the right sensor. I'm more confused about your bike. All I did was unthread the stock sensor cable and thread in the new Trail Tech sensor.

This is what I would do in your shoes. 1) Tap the hole, or 2) if the diameter is too large to just tap, put a helicoil in.

[sammyj18]

Actually the diameter of the sensor end is smaller than the diameter of the caliper hole...so the sensor kinda floats in there...not real bad just slightly wiggles. Will a helicoil still work in that situation?

Thanks,
Sam
