Anyone have any pics of the inside of the 2017 touring primary? Kind of curious what the new clutch pack and compensator look like on the new Milwaukee 8 motor.

 

Check out Baggers Mag article on the new Milwaukee 8. Lots of cutaways of the new engine including the Comp, Primary and info on the new clutch. http://www.baggersmag.com/harley-dav...ilwaukee-eight

 

Is the clutch really new, or is it the "Assist & Slip" from the Rushmore CVOs & Low models?

I found this....

 

I see the compensator is going to require a new tool to remove. Looks like an oversized torx bit to hold the shaft stationary while torqueing/removing the nut.

Also they didn't want to show the chain tensioner in the cutaway. That would've been nice to see.

 

I don't know what that torx is for but there still is a big nut there. There's no way that you could tighten that torx as much as a compensator needs to be tightened without rounding it off or breaking your bit.

 

HD introduced that T70 in 2014. You torque it to 175 foot pounds. 200 works better. No issues.

The "nut" is for holding while you loosen the Torx bolt.

So the nut is fixed to the compensator?

 

Roger. Some use the nut to put a wrench on to keep the crank from spinning while you tighten the T70, but that's optional. If you use the proper chain locking tool you don't need to mess with the nut.
