Yes it uses a magnet attached to the brake somehow. I don't actually have one but if you go here (http://www.trailtech.net/400ex.htm) you get some good pics of it on a 400EX.

B/c mine is just a wire with a threaded bolt type thing at the end with 2 nuts on it and not the black sensor like in the pic and not magnet that is detached :confused: :confused: :confused:

All applications vary. You may have a bicycle application.

On mine you replaced one the rotor bolts with the bolt they give you that has a magnetic head. Then on the caliper bracket or somewhere (not for sure) you drill a hole and mount the other magnetic piece with the wire on it. The two should be in line when they roll around.

Thats not the right cable for the 400EX application. Call Trail Tech and get the right one, the one in the first photo you posted.
A new sensor set up is $23.95 on there website.
