Pull off the little rubber hood over the sensor clip.
The clip on wire may be corroded away to bugger all :shock:

Being the 08 KSRC Mechanical Excellence Award recipient I can honestly say I have NFI :lol:

Apart from an oil change, have you done anything else to the bike recently? Had the tail off for any reason? Did you overfill the oil?
