Did you lose your accent? It should be "chopping", right? LOL

Put a stator in a '08 Heritage this week.
The engineers involved in that project should be slapped & sterilized. (So that this will never happen again).
You gotta pull the inner primary. (Or grind the **** out of it), because the rotor will not come out due to hitting the side of the case.
So in order to swap the stator you gotta dis-assemble half the friggin bike.
They did that **** on purpose so most /many owners will pay out the *** to have the work done at a dealer.
Then when you go to torque the comp nut, the, $130.00, service manual says, & I quote,
"Tighten comp sprocket to 65 ft-lbs.
Loosen comp sprocket back 90 degrees.
Re-tighten comp sprocket to 65 ft-lbs.
Using a grease pencil, mark a straight line on the compensating sprocket bolt continuing the line over onto the chaincase housing for reference.
Using the marks as a guide, turn compensating sprocket bolt 62+-1 degrees".
WTT <per Izzo) does that mean?
This is one major reason why Harley compensators are failing.
People don't understand that **** so they leave the comp bolt torqued to 65 freakin ft lbs.
When I loosened the comp bolt on this one it was way too loose.
Them bolts are poppin' loose.
On a side note...Harley recommends replacing the comp bolt & washer at each removal.
The bolt is 6 bucks. The washer is 24 bucks.
