A huge thanks to Lyle and this product. Although I had my compensator replaced with the S.E. compensator on my '09 Road King several years ago, about a year ago I started hearing a clunking noise from my primary when I'd let out the clutch, I thought it might be the clutch basket going out (over 70k miles), so I replaced it, and it was marginally better, but the clunking noise was still prevalent and after watching this video, I thought maybe this would help, and man did it, clutch engagement & acceleration is so much smoother and linear, I also noticed that when I begin to decelerate and pull in the clutch, the engine feels smoother, the engine used to shutter/shake a bit upon deceleration. A rather big gain for the price, I installed the part myself, so I didn't incur any labor costs, just the cost of the part, the primary oil & gasket. A huge thumbs up. 👍

2000 miles away from home at Sturgis 84th Rally Had a terrible noise in what sounded like my transmission. Looked up noise and luckily found Lyle's Video with how to fix my problem. I showed up the next morning and they took care of it right away 3 hours later I was back on the road. couldn't have been happier great price too. was able to stay and ride for another week before heading back home. Bike feels better then ever. Thank you

The timkens have a preload from the factory . It is important to torque back to specs when reassembling for bearing longevity. Ive watched people use an impact and overtorque the sprocket shaft bolt . Soon after they developed crank movement from timkens being hammered . I mean if you pull pusdhrods from the valve train you dont mix them up. Your bearings especially after run in are happiest running the preload torque spec.

Lyle is the best mechanic to work on my bike. Took care of me two years ago during Sturgis rally. Completely sold me on using ATF in my primary. Incredible difference.

Hey there ..Great video. I was wondering since you put a thicker more beveled spring in the comp. Wondering if that puts the front sprocket out of alignment with the back sprocket? (IE: Stack height of front sprocket) I think you have the older style ramp from the 2016 models which is thicker that the M8s also. So yeah...would this make the front sprocket and chain out of alignment with the back sprocket. Cheers

@d.sandell2555Ай бұрын
I'm with you when you use a stronger spring to keep the compensator within original design range of motion for higher horsepower bikes.. but does adding one stiffer / thicker diaphragm spring just transfer the movement to the thinner plates? Shouldn't all the diaphragm springs be equally as strong to spread out the tension?
@TheFattiusMaximusАй бұрын
Would a sign of a bad compensator include rattling/vibration felt through the footboards when the accelerator is released while traveling in gear. Also the bike slows down like if the brakes are gently applied. I checked all engine mounts l, which are in tact

Hi, Obviously you shouldn't be able to turn the comp. by hand, but how much force should be needed to rotate up and down the ramp with a locking bar in place?? Thanks

I have a '16 Road Glide Ultra. I hear an intermittent clunk in the primary at idle. The clutch action is great, but when starting it's like it hits a compression stroke, stalls then turns over and starts. My first Harley. It has 14,500 miles. Compensator? I'm pulling the primary cover this week.

Hi I have a 17 sg when I accelerate or lift off throttle it makes a clunking sound would fix that or would I need to do compensater also. When I say clunk I meant it's like clunk clunk clunk. No issues starting or shifting but definitely something wrong
