second compensator in 2 months ,the dealer says that it went out because I used bell ray fluid, anyone hear of or believe that

 

First I've heard of it. All the top brand oils should be good. I think the overall vote for primary fluid goes to Formula Plus though.

 

normvit - is your bike under warranty? I understand there is a new compensator for the 2017 and all replacements on our bikes will be the new one.

Last question who installed the Belle Ray - tell me the dealer did so I too can have a good laugh

 

What year and which model do you have since new kit with oiling was released that issue was under control.

 

I have a 2015 limited under warranty and they are not putting in any upgaded parts and the se compensator is not stock, so they tell me, the dealer did not put in the bell ray , I have always used it and they recommended it and i never had a problem

 

I am having my service done now - dealer is putting in BelPay - they also put that in last time. My first BelRay oil seemed to quiet the bike a bit. Before then, I was running Sync in all 3 holes.

You mentioned that your compensator was not stock? So, if it is not stock, then I guess I understand why Harley is not installing the new upgraded one. Curious, what does one cost?

 

If (when) the comp on my '15 Limited goes TU, whether it's still under warranty or not, I'll be buying the new Baker comp and installing it myself. That's the only way I'll end up with something that will actually last - and it'll be installed right the first time, too!

 

Typical dealership BS, as usual.

 

That's bull crap it's not the oil it's the compnesator since 2007 Moco just can't get it right even SE wasn't bullet proof on my 07 UC can't remember think it was close to 3 or 4 compensators in 100K miles.

 

I am planning to have Chris Waddell from Cycle Solutions put a Baker on mine next May in Myrtle Beach. The stock one is still quiet, but why push my luck.
