I suspect reluctor height has deminished, just from wear and road rash/ruct. But do not over-look a possible bad sensor...Does the new one match up measurment-wise w/the old one.

Also check that the wheel bearings are not loose..

I've often thought about a scope. Can one be had inexpensively? Perhaps used? Any links to an example?
