im going to change my compensator to a se compensator. i read some old articles about the primary needing to be grinded in a spot. is that true and if so where is the spot? pictures of it would be great

 

Have you considered the Baker comp? If I'm not mistaken, the new SE comp is the same one that has been going bad on everyone since '11 with the exception of the glue on plastic oil funnel thingy. I think the grinding you are speaking of is to roughen up the primary cover so the glue will stick. Personally, I'm not liking the idea of glueing something in my primary. Just wondering.

 

Just take the bolts out that hold the inner cover and unbolt the starter. Takes about 3 minutes. I didn't even remove the cover, just loosend it up.

The grinding would be to allow you to pull the old Rotor out without having to remove the inner primary, but you already have the new style Rotor and you already have an older version of the SE Compensator.

 

===============

Thats only true for some bikes,when i installed a new se comp on my 09 flhtcu
i had to grind a fair amount like 10-15 mins to remove the stock rotor and then significantly more(an additional 15 mins) to get the new SE rotor past the innner prim case and onto the crank.

While you]r at it why not install GMR's compensaver that speficically designed to provide a constatnt flow of oil to the new se comp which should hopefully extend its srv'c life.

I installed it at the same time i installed the new se comp a couple months ago and so far / 2600 miles it's been working very well.

Here's a link to GMR's Compoensaver.

As of approx a wk or so ago if i am not mistaken Baker was still backed up something like 6-8wks trying to complete all the pre-orders 1st,then move onto current orders after that .

But am not 100% sure if thats the case today so chk with Baker for the latest on it.

Thats why i went with a new se comp along with GMR's compensaver oiling system at the same time because it provides a more consistant oil flow to the se comp which should hopefully extend it's srv'c life.

If yours is a 2012, you do not have to remove anything that would require grinding. I installed the latest version on my 2011 and it was pretty straight foreword job.

 

i looked at the baker but the wait was going to be awhile

 

Here's a link, he explains how to grind and glue the new lube kit in place.

 

On another forum, Mark from Baker has been updating the shipping in a thread. They have been shipping them, but so far they only able to cover the pre- orders. There is a large batch going to be ready for shipping on 7/22....

They are flying off the shelf and the wait is getting shorter...


A couple of quotes from another forum, Mark P is from Baker...

"Another 70 will be going out by the end of the Month all of which are going to pre-order customers."

So Mark if I order one today or tomorrow will I be in that group of 250 you have coming in - in 4 weeks?
