Default Tuner wouldn't tune my bike because of bad compensator...

So i knew i had a bad compensator and some issues with my primary and starter grind...2007 FLHTC with 76000 miles...I won a auction for a PCV and dyno time so i took it there last Sunday and he got it on the Dyno Yesterday AM... called me around noon to tell me he wouldn't tune it until i got the Comp fixed...So off to the dealer to get a new SE Comp and whatever else it needs under warranty...then back to the Tuner....

As long as it's warrantied, it's just a time issue. (PITA.) And you really should fix it anyway so there's your motivation.

( Boy am I ever happy I've got an old bike!)

I was gonna have it fixed eventually... this has been a ongoing issue... this will be the 3rd Compensator...No biggie...$50 DEDUCTABLE...Not even sure this will fix the starter grind issue, i hope it will...Warranty expires in July so this is it, after that i will do fixes myself. I knew the primary had issues but to not Dyno it??? He didn't want to be responsible or liable... He even gave me the PCV and told me to bring it back and he would finish the job...All this without giving him my Auction winning certificate...Here is what has been done for this damn starter grind
Starter bolts torqued
Starter/exhast grounding strap
High Torque starter
New compensator
New Inner Primary bearing/seal

I really didn't think it was that bad but the guy noticed it when he was shifting it...I guess you get so used to something that it becomes normal...
