Compensator changes for 2014..retro kit will be available!
More oil groves, primary oil flow director, tapered bolt, grooved sprocket...and there will be a retro-kit for earlier models...here we go:
The picture below is part of the retro-fit kit. This part is designed to deflect primary oil toward the compensating sprocket. This is for pre-2014 models. The 2014 models will have a metallic webbing molded into the primary cover to accomplish the same re-direction of primary lubricant to the compensating sprocket:
That's it for the new compensator. Apparently the same primary chain tensioner is being used.

it is called the
2014 model year technical forum
you may find it on the web with a search engine, links to it have been posted by a few members, but the mods have removed some of the threads...
I am starting to wonder how long until we have dual clutch packs in the primary...one at each end!

Its not clear that these modifications will bring lots of improvement 
Wider cam ramps should lessen wear on the spokes as long as their contact surfaces are sufficiently lubricated and the same case hardening/nitriding is applied to both spokes and cams; the axial roller bearing will only rotate/oscillate by a few degrees, so its longevity seems compromised.
