SO the SE compensator has a problem with the retaining bolt being loose. heres a great idea. a retainer that locks the bolt in place. reminds me of my aircraft maint days.

Here are some pictures and part numbers. Just got off the phone and ordered one.



The first pic shows the underside of the a retainer from the earlier SE 40274-08 kit. This retainer has external splines (like a gear teeth) on the underside.

Retainer from 40274-08 SE kit. If you have the 40724-08 SE kit, you can simply call and order an LP08K and a predrilled retainer (p/n 37810-08A). There's no need to send your retainer.


The next pic shows a retainer from the latest SE 40274-08A kit. It has a smooth cylindrical surface on the underside, as seen on right side of retainer in the pic):

here is the basic SE comp bolt.

 

on the left is stock. on the right the modified kit which includes pre-drilled unit, retainer, and bolts for the retainer

 

here is the new unit assembled

Great info from many perspectives...ordering parts today. One question tho...I've been running amsoil in the primary....is no one using amsoil after the upgrade?

 

Great find!

Please keep us informed once you have put some

miles on your SE Comp. Seems like this may end the dreaded

replacement of the the SE comp.

Ride Safe,

thanks for this tip!!! just ordered one, the guy, Steve very nice to deal with, and very professional. will put one on mine, and most likely will start including it on customers bikes jobs, great insurance

 

what does oil have to do with this?

 

wrong post...oops...lol I was reading two threads. The other was the SE compensator installation. I was wondering if anyone was using Amsoil after the upgrade. No mention of it at all in 33 pages.
