Went to my dealer today and discussed the bang that I occasionally hear on start up on my newly acquired (new to me anyway) 2010 Limited. No problem they said they have done these on a few 2010's with this issue. They explained that they could install the S.E. for the price difference from stock. Now I thought that the 2011's had the S.E. in them? When I inquired about this they explained that the 2011's were not a retro fit and a different compensator than the S.E.
Was just wondering if anyone can verify this?

 

I had the same thing with my 2010. The big bang when started. They(the dealer) replaced with another OEM comp. and it did the same thing along with the sound of rocks in the primary. I ask about the SE comp. and was told, they came stock in the 2011's. I told them I want one in mine. I paid the difference and it solved all my problems. I'm a happy camper now.
I've read where some have even had theres replace at no charge at all. Sence mine was the second one, I was glad to pay the difference and be done with it. It cost me 200 bux. Worth the piece of mind.

 

Does anyone have access to the part number for the 2011 compensator? Is this the same as the S.E. #40274-08?

 

When I took my 2010 in, the service writer said that they'd finally started putting the S/E unit in from the factory for 2011, and replaced my stock one with the S/E unit under warranty with no charge to me.

 

My local dealer finally replaced the OEM compensator in my '0-10, but said they could not install the 'Screamin' Eagle Compensator' under warranty. Instead, they ordered all the parts of the SE and installed that. Sounded weird to me that Harley wouldn't just let them install the compensator as a complete unit, but it did solve the noise issues and the dealer didn't charge me anything for it.

 

If your talking about the bike in the pic its not a LIMITED unless youve added Saddlebag gaurds.

Isn't the bike in the pic his 2006 Ultra listed in his signature?

It's worth the upgrade, even if the dealer has you pony up for some of the cost. I was willing to pay the full price for the upgrade but my dealer got H-D to pick up the cost.

 

It's the '06 in his signature, what's your point?

 

My point is exactly what I said. If its the 06 then that answers things.
