As I am learning more and more about my bike and how everything works, drivetrains are not my specailty, I know every little about how it in fact. Can someone enlighten me as to what the compensator is, does and how I would know when it is time to change it? Thanks

The compensator basically puts some "spring" between the engine and the transmission.
What I can tell you is that it is very similar to the 5 speed style compensator if your familiar with those. No special tools, and as always we recommend Spectro or Redline primary fluid.

hey mark @baker drivetrain
hello sir,
Is there any consideration of making this compensator in a 30 tooth variety?
I have moved onto using the Evolution Industries 30 tooth solid sprocket.
Converted over to chain final drive 24/53. The 34 tooth motor sprocket did not give the gearing justice and I did not want to go with a bigger final drive sprocket.
At any rate if this new compensator could be offered with less teeth than stock, it would be my next purchase!!
thanks,
filth

It's been pretty quiet for a while, but I'm sure it will come alive once someone gets their hands on the new comp.
