ABSTRACT:
A system and method allow the position of a motorcycle crankshaft to be sensed without causing oil froth or foam. A flywheel is arranged perpendicularly and concentrically with respect to the crankshaft, and an electronic sensor is positioned for sensing the face of the flywheel, which has a plurality of notches therein. The electronic sensor is equipped to sense passage of the notches past the sensor. The rim of the flywheel is toothless.
