M8 Compensator Upgrade
Remember if you change to my ramps to ensure that the original sprocket is cleaned up and polished if it was damaged due to the breakage or just from metal to metal contact. If you don't it will act like a file. Also use the best hi impact oil you can get, Redline to a gear oil. I noticed not only a reduction in metal to metal contact but also a huge reduction in wear of the change tensioner pad. By the way my ramps are 4340 on 4130 and case hardened so they still have a tough core.

redline
In case anybody cares, I'm running a TTS tool steel comp ramp and Rekluse TorqDrive clutch.
I started with Redline primary oil but after having the primary cover off to switch clutch springs I changed to Harley Formula+, very smooth shifting, neutral easy to find and quiet primary.
Everything just seemed a bit better than with redline oil which is quite a bit thinner.

My CR showed up today, it will be interesting to see what the stocker looks like after 15K.
