I had the same issue a few years ago on my 2009 Softail and it was the Compensator (15k miles). Once the Compensator was replaced, all was good. Ron

The verdict is in, and Yup, end up to be a bad compensator. I will be replacing with the SE Comp. Thank you all for your help! This forum is a fantastic resource!
