Now it's getting interesting. Pulled the sensor out, widened a washer which had a thickness of 0.035 in, put it all back togetherand measured again. Imagine my surprise when the I see no change. Okay, before you laugh, here is the text and the picture from the SM (please Honda, forgive me that copyright violation) :
Measure the clearance (air gap) between the sensor and pulser ring at several points by turning the rear wheel slowly.

What the SM doesn't say, and the picture doesn't show, there is a metal casing (a tube which is part of the brake caliper) protecting the sensor. And when you measure EXACTLY as shown in the pic above, you measure the distance between the pulser ring and that casing. The sensor DOES NOT stick out on the inside of the tube, so there is no way to even measure the required gap. Darn. Adding a washer between sensor and caliper structure does indeed move the sensor towards the outside, but how much, how little is needed ? No idea.
Could be that this casing got introduced with the EX in 2017 (my manual is for the 2013-16 models), cannot find another one.
