Anyone have a service b on this?
thanks

 

Mine is at the Harley Shop as we speak for the dreaded starter banging noise. They seemed oblivious to this so called "compensator issue". They never heard of anyone having issues with the compensator. They asked me if my battery was good and if I might be letting off the starter button while cranking causing the noise. Of course he turned the motor over several times while I was there and it started right up every time. Mine is out of warranty so I am bracing for the worst$$$$$$$$$$$$








2008 Anniversary Ultra Stock Motor

 

Just got mine back from the harley shop. The compensator bolt was loose so they replaced the assembly with the Screaming Eagle Compensator. They also covered everything under "good will" even though it was out of warranty!!! Makes a big difference with the upgrade.

 

My now "old" 2000 FLTRSEI has had no problems with anything in the primary and just passed 87,000 miles this past weekend, Guess I'm not really up on some of the new technology.

What did HD do to weaken what was a bulletproof compensator unit?

 

Mine was changed at no cost, had to go to 2 diffrent dealers before I got it done. first dealer was 1 of the suppose to sound like that shops 2nd did it just on my complaint of the bang at start up.

 

Just had mine replaced under the ESP. Along with the starter, rotor, primary chain & clutch bearing. Had them upgrade to the SE compensator. I was told the bang at startup was normal too. The hard starting when it was hot was the only other symptoms I had. No abnormal noise in the primary. The bill was $1577.00. I usually don't buy extended warranties. But i am glad I had it this time. Cost me $203 out of pocket to upgrade to the SE and the $50 deductible.

 

Has this issue been reported on the 07 model? I have an 07 that I get this noise from occasionally when starting.

 

Anyone have a dealer in the dc metro area that did not look at them like they had two headed when they went to the service department with the compensator bang????????

 

any recomendations for a reputable dealer in or around boston that has done this under warranty.im due for my 10,000 mile service and would love to get it done while its there.without paying of course.

 

" compensator replaced under warranty ?"....I missed out on that one by 5 months.
Mine started banging and clanging on start-up last Oct....5 months
after warranty ended. Dealer couldn't / wouldn't help me out....
Indy just replaced stock with SE upgrade 2 weeks ago....seems to work as
advertised, no more clang and bang on start-up.
