My bike threw a P0705 on the weekend. After some Google research (with most of the quality search results coming back to our beloved .net site) I decided that I would give the GPS a clean before donating hard-earned funds to Triumph and their dealer network.
I managed to get the sensor unbolted from the bike without any dramas. However, my sensor looked somewhat different to the reference pictures I was using as a guide - ie, post #13 in http://www.r3owners.net/threads/help-please-check-engine-light-no-gear-indicator.15243/page-2.
So I gave it a bit of a clean and just bolted everything back together.
Below is the picture of my sensor (pic 1), and it's repository at the back of the engine (pic 2). On the sensor I was expecting to see the 6 dots (electrical contacts I assume) as per the reference picture. Instead, I have a white plastic cap with a post sticking out of it. I assume the electrical contacts are under the white cap. I didn't want to attempt to take the sensor apart any further.
My question ... has the Rocket sensor changed from what I am seeing in the reference picture, or should the white cap and post have stayed in the bike (just like on the reference picture)?
I guess there is another question I should put out there too ....... is it possible that this is not the sensor I am looking for.

Thanks.
