rear speed sensor is in the Final Drive (about 1 o'clock on the wheel side)....if you can beg, borrow or steel a GS911, it may tell you the problem...

and i would check the wheels for dents/bends!!!

good luck!

Not about the sensor, but check closely your rims. Those things are a soft metal alloy and bend easily. If the jolt was hard enough to disrupt your ABS, I bet there is a better than even chance it bent one or both rims. And a bent rim may still hold air pressure just fine, so don't assume no rim damage just because your tire pressure hasn't gone down. (Don't ask me how I know all this stuff.)

It would be my pleasure to help you with my GS911-but-I am a littlebit far from you-Canada-Ontario.BTW,if you have had proper inflation of tires,PROBABLY there should not bee a rim damage.Sensors can be "cnocked out"cosed of harsh bang.You can check on rim damage,sympli lifting the tire in the air,turning the wheel and see if there is an"offset" of rim.If the rim turning like I would turn after having a case/small/of beer.Than there is a damage.
