ok 04 Dyna Lowrider FXDLI just turned 14,000 Compensator nut came loose, question is what should i do? just clean it all up put some thread locker on those inside threads and put back together Torquing to 165FT Lbs? Isnt that about all that i can do? i caught it as soon as it started to touch the inside of the primary cover no damage all looks great. also how much oil do i put back into the primary cover? and where do i put it in at?
Thanks alot guys

 

and one more thing PLEASE HELP!!! How are you able to torque the nut to 165Ft. LB? i mean even if in gear it will just roll backwards (the bike) what do you suggest to be able to torque the nut???

 

there is a special tool that jambs the primary chain and the clutch up so you can tighten the bolt.

go to Jimsusa.com and ck it out.

 

As noted you need a Special "tool" that jams between the gear sets. I made one out of a long screw driver as I was putting on forward controls on my Dyna on a Sunday and removed the inner and outer primary cases and all associated "stuff." Didn't want to wait and order the tool. Cut the screw driver to length and ground down the shaft until it looked like a two ended screw driver - also rounded out the blade area so it wouldn't scuff the gears. Worked like a charm. I believe the service manual states red locktite on the nut.

 

hey thanks alot guys i got it done even used the old primary gasket and "no leaks!"

-guess what .... you ain't done.... there is a service bulletin for this problem!!!!!
you need to go back in there loosen the nut. and reapply loctite red... next torque to 75-80 ft-lbs.. score the nut location with a marker(line on nut and sprocket to indicate the position) then tighten the nut till the score mark is 30-45º tighter than the line on the sprocket....

165 ft-lbs is not enough to stop the nut from coming loose again!

 

no ****!? okay i can do that but not gonna be fun in which i put lots of red lock tite lol
But thanks i would rather have to redo it then for it not to be right!!!
Thanks again...

 

don't overdo the loctite...only a couple drops are necessary....
Google : m-1170 service bulletin
gives you correct instructions and diagrams...

 

{worth mentioning} you should have the threads spanking clean of oil before applying the loctite
