What did you do to your V11 today?

I assume you got one tooth at TDC in relation to the centerline of the sensor ?

I didn't worry about TDC, but did have a look at where the teeth on the wheel were, i.e. a tooth there where the bolt in the tool was landing. On top of that, I had a good look at whether the M5 bolt that I was using in "my" tool to measure the distance would fit in between two teeth on the the wheel. It wont. 

I took a measurement, and went in with the vernier caliper to check plausibility. Then put the bike in 2nd gear and bumped the motor a bit. Took another measurement, and came up with the same result.

I'm pretty sure that the measurement is solid.

Yeah, I think it has a bit of a bulge. I have a replacement, so I will most likely just replace it. Might test it, but the power in the garage is photovoltaic, and doesn't have enough bumps (German word...) to power the hot air blower. Maybe I'll have a look at it at home in the kitchen when the girlfriend is at work. 

Yes, hot water should work as well, and leave no trace.

I think we are talking about the same thing......You are making sure one tooth is in the center of the bore where the sensor goes ?

Yes.

The safety margin is that, as I wrote, the bolt wont fit between two teeth, and I also ground off the end of the bolt so it is dead flat, no taper in to the thread. So even if just the very edge of the bolt is on top of a tooth, it should still take a good measurement.

But that is just the safety margin. I made sure that a tooth was in the middle, and am quite sure my bolt was hitting it squarely.

Good. One time we had to install some sensors on the Bell housing and set the air gap to XXX . We got the flywheel tooth to the center of the bore , and figured the air gap with the revolution of the sensor threads and bottomed the sensor against the tooth and backed it out accordingly to get the proper air gap.
