    Default Need replacement ABS sensor

    Mechanic was changing balljoint (upper left) on my '05 RS SM5, and ABS sensor "magically" snapped off.
    BRP Australia has none in stock, and it will take 3 - 4 weeks to get one from Canada.
    I understand the Spyder uses an off the shelf Bosch system, does anyone know of a car, or another type of bike that uses the same sensor, or am I limited to a genuine BRP sensor ?
    ps.
    I've ordered F3S ( Australian release is approx 20th June)
    Looking forward to getting my hands on that !!
    Cheers, Michael.

    Default sensor

    Can't help you re the sensor -- but if it was me I'd be asking the dealer for a loan spyder for the time being. Or they could take one off one of their spare unsold spyders for you, pending 4 weeks+ on delivery of the replacement ...

    Good question. I don't recall anyone ever figuring out the matching automotive part. Sorry. I do believe you are correct and the ABS sensor system is from Bosch. If you do find a matching sensor let us know.

    is "magically" snapped off.... a polite way of stating the mechanic BROKE IT ?

    thanks guys for the input.
    auto electrician contacted Bosch Australia, who were unwilling to help.
    one of my sons is flying to California next week, so he will buy one and mail it back to me.
