HD put ACR's in Police and CVO's in 2007. Then on bikes equipped with 103 engines. That was in 2012.

My 09 FLHP has ACRs and the bike had a Stage 1 done to it prior to me taking delivery.
At about 15 K it became hard to start when warm...thought it was the compensator which got replaced.
Bike was still hard to start when warm....grrrr.
Turns out that when the Stage 1 was and the bike was dyno'd they forgot to enable the ACRs...once enabled, hard start went away.

2009 compensator and starter issue when hot
I have 2009, it has 30k miles and on fourth compensator, with its third improved design. After compensator is replace the starter sounds great with no problems, but after a few hundred miles the same problem comes back. If I ride for an hour and engine is hot, shut down the motor and restart the starter makes a very loud clank, sounds like gears down mesh. Harley stood behind it in the beginning but now it's my problem. Anybody got the answer? It should be recall, Harley knows the compensators are bad because the keep redesigning it. I also replaced primary chain and tightener, starter, clutch basket, battery,

Starter Clutch about a $74 dollar fix and about an hour and a little change of your time.
