The spring pack and cam are an intrinsic part of the compensator and are "in the box" Mr. Brown will deliver.

...and what you describe may very well be a loose comp sprocket and just needs to be tightened up.

 

Thanks Sniper77. I will check that first, but I have already ordered the new compensator. If I have to go in there, I might as well make the upgrade while I'm there. I just hope that takes care of the problem. I went for a short ride yesterday and it seems like it's getting worse. My next issue is the whining tranny. It's so bad it's getting embarassing to ride through a quiet camp ground or neighborhood.

 

Ey mud do u have dimentions forthe primary chain locking tool?

 

1/4" flat bar....1' wide and 7" long

Most use 1/4 steel flatbar I used a pc of aluminum. I didnt want the extra weight in my toolbox and it doesnt need to be that strong.

Thanx for the reply fellas

 

Mud you have to do some of the very best write ups man! just awesome!!!

 

Has anyone done the SE Compensator mod on an '09?

 

Nice write up.

I did the SE Comp in my B motor last year and it was indeed one of the better moves I've done. I won't have another bike without doing this mod.
It's a "must have", symptoms or not.

 

I've got my SE comp coming... I cringe every time I fire my ride up.. it jumps to life so hard and it sounds like someone give the engine a rap with a small ball peen hammer, when it takes that weak stock compensator to the end of it's travel... it's also gotten a lot noisier lately... I'm sure the stock comp is pretty much toast. Doing the chrome inner primary... and the SE comp at the same time.
