2009 Strat S. Where precisely is the speed sensor? Give it to me in dim dim terms, since it seems I’ll have to remove bolts-n-stuff…

Pictures are great, too!

I'm not the guy you want helping you, I don't own a Stratoliner. Hopefully after I sound off, the guy with the real knowledge will show up. But, .....

My guess is that your speed sensor is mounted on the what Yamaha calls the Transfer Case, and is sensing that ring of teeth depicted on what Yamaha calls the Middle Driven Shaft.

I'd anticipate a fair amount of work getting to that. Good Luck!

Update 11/15/2023: it’s all a big LIE! The schematics are wrong, it’s all BS! The speed sensor plug is UNDER THE SEAT! There is that bunch of wires/plugs wrapped up in that black wrap with Velcro…in there is the damn plug I needed to access!

LITERALLY a 3 minute install from start to finish 🙄
