SE Compensator junked....
Took my 2010 RG to the shop yesterday because of primary noise. Tech listened and said it was a bad chain tensioner, so off it went to the shop. Tech came back out after taking the primary off, saying he had never seen this before.....the compesator was locked on the ramp. This caused the chain tensioner to rock on the bolt that holds it in place. The compensator also wallowed on shaft it fits on too.
If that wasn't bad enough the tech said he was going to check the splines that the clutch basket rides on. He said they have been seeing the splines crumbling off the shaft,not connected to my problem, but one they have been seeing on other bikes.
Parts are back ordered and due to be released 7/13, Tech thinks a upgrade might be in the works?
Anyone else had this happen? Sorry no pictures.....

Maybe I should be clearer and say that the chain pulley had ridden up the ramp and jammed, so it no longer was compensating. The mothership is covering the cost with no haggle....I'll up date when it gets back together.
The motor was running fine and there was just a little slappy,clanky noise in the primary.

noticed on a 4500 mile ride last month at various rpms, gears, and mph I would get an intermittent vibration.
when I got home I replaced the front motor mount and it helped. But I still have the vibes.
I got new Comp, just haven't had time to put it in.
Seems each year manufacturers come up with a way to make things fail unexpectedl;y, so you got to keep buying. And no it don't matter which Manufacturer it is!!
