Hello everyone I am Moniroth Vutha from cambodia. You can call me nick it's much easier .
I recently bought a 2017 super tenere with 33k km on the odometer. Loving it so far but was having issue starting the bike. Press the starter button and all I heard is a click and sometime it would crank slowly and throw the Code crankshaft position sensor A circuit.

Check the forums and I went to check the starter relay and it was very corroded, sanded the terminals and adjust and crimp the pins now the bike fires up smoothly
