Also make sure the arrowed spacer is tall enough that the rotor clears the stator windings.

How do you check the alignment of the comp sprocket and the sprocket on the clutch hub?

I ordered a 25734-06 (.120) and 25736-06 (.130) spacers. My measurements fell in between those so I order both and I'll use whichever is closer when assembled.

The part number you posted is the kit of 5 which should include the ones I ordered. Probably could have ordered the kit online for what I paid for the 2 from my local dealer.

Got a piece of ground 3/8 x 1/2 water hardening flat stock for a straight edge.

Verified clearance from crank to stator windings. No issues there.



Checked the compensator and the clutch hub splines before I put them on. I don't see any concerning issues with the comp, but to be honest I don't really understand how they wear out. Is it the spring pack on the stator rotor?



I don't have a "water hardening flat stock" to check primary sprocket alignment, but I do have an Empire square, which is Made in USA.
Can't get much straighter than that.



Inner primary bolted on with new sealing bolts, have a new comp bolt ready to go, and a new clutch hub nut on order.

Comp might be worn.. These really wear the worse on the 6 splines that the cam slides on.. Look at the splines from the side..

Ok, that makes a little more sense.

It fits snugly together, with no measurable play.



Definitely has some grooving on the splines though, deep enough to catch a fingernail in. Should I be concerned about this?

Looks like you have a good one! Run it. Plenty of people still running the original comp. Might want to measure the spring pack and make sure it's at spec.
