Have a 09, Glide, 96 CI

Seems like the stock comp sprocket clangs, if you're coasting in 2/3rd gear, and ease on/off the gas. Guess it's engaging and disengaging.....

Anyhow, anyone done upgrades ?
Which one and how did it work...

 

If you want to keep a compensator, Baker. If you want to get rid of the compensator in favor of a engine sprocket, the Twin Power one is pretty nice for the money.....

 

Not familiar with that, what is the difference ?

 

The engine sprocket is just that, it is a sprocket that fits on the crank. There are no extra moving parts to wear or fail, Compensators fail because they fail to get oil in them consistently and end up wearing out. The Baker comp has scoops on it to help get the oil into it, hence why I say it is the best of the bunch. That being said, there are no oiling issues with the engine sprocket as it is solid and has no moving parts...

 

OK gotcha, just a sprocket,,,,
I guess the only issue there is shifting and putting it in gear, is it harder, more of a jerk or clank, since there
is no spring to relieve some of the torque

 

I believe the comp also helps reduce stress on the crank.

Are you sure it is your comp and not chain slap ( from chain adjusters not functioning properly)?
Does it occur when you are cruising at steady speed downhill and back off the throttle, then crank it back?

What happens when you try this?
