"Hayden suggests that you go back into the primary after 500 miles or so and make another measurement to ensure that the device has adequate room to adjust up and down without bottoming out. That completes the install."

Those who are using Hayden, did you go back into your primary and check it after 500 miles ??? I don't mind the oil, but the 2 gaskets are about 50 dollars.. A little costly don't you think ???

Be Safe JIM

 

And if so was it out of adjustment?

 

mine were fine ( 2 x evos) when checked after some period of use and onwards.

gaskets can sometimes be reused if initially torqued to the lower end of the range.

the evo style "paper" gaskets are preferred by me as they will better seal against any deformity in the gasket or in the surfaces.

an indy will carry "paper" style gaskets, HD does not

I wouldn't bother, I think it's just the companys CYA statement.

 

I didn't bother. I plan to check at 10k instead. I should ht that by feb.

 

+1...butttt, i still checked mine , and it didn't change..same measurement from when i installed it

 

what was the measurement,the new heavier springs have seemed to change the measurement to being to tight.

 

After installing mine it measured 1/4 ". Hayden say's that's ok. Should wear in to the perfect 3/8" and be that for a around 50,000 miles.
