IGNITION MODULE AND CAM POSITION SENSOR 7.8
GENERAL
See Figure 7-17. The ignition module is integrated with the
cam position sensor on the module plate in the gearcase
cover located on the right side of the motorcycle. The inte-
grated ignition module is not repairable. Replace the unit if it
fails.
For information on the function and testing of the integrated
ignition module see 7.2 IGNITION SYSTEM.
See Figure 7-18. The rotor cup is located in the gearcase
cover on the right side of the vehicle behind the integrated
ignition module. The rotor is mounted on the camshaft and
operates at one-half crankshaft speed. See IGNITION TIM-
ING for information on the function, testing and adjustment of
the integrated ignition module and trigger rotor assembly.
