KPX Speed Sensor Seal ???

Bill Hilly · 10-16-2023, 10:22 AM

I just saw a video of DadBod Bikers discussing their KPX bikes, and the mention how when they assembled their bikes, they accidentally left the speed sensor seal off one bike, and accidentally doubled it on another. I don't recall seeing a seal with mine, I just put it together. Should I have gotten a seal ? I honestly don't think I noticed if there was already one in the hub of the wheel.

I don't know about any seal. There's a metal spacer on the left side and a plastic spacer on the right side where the sensor is located.

That's how I put mine together. I did kinda watch a MotoCheeze video were he mentioned an extra "mystery" seal that came with his bike, and I think he figured it to be a fork seal. I now have about 90 miles on my bike.

I had put the question to the Facebook KPX group, and the guy that had the issue that I'm talking about said that it should have been on the sensor already, but it had evidently must have been left off, or fallen off before hand. He said that the lower fork strut would be greasy if it's not in place. I will look at mine, but figure it's on it.
