Hi, do you mean the crankshaft position sensor? on the right hand side(as your sitting on the bike) behind a round cover down low on the engine?
If this is the sensor you mean then the chances are the sensors 2 mounting bolts came loose and allowed the sensor to come in contact with the end of the crankshaft.
Hope this helps.
