2013 Compensator replaced
I replaced my 2013 FLTRU compensator at 41000 miles with the Screaming Eagle updated version . Everything went smoothly. I also replaced my auto chain adjuster while in there. No more big clucks on shutdown or startup but I did notice some twitchiness if I'm letting clutch out slowly as to maneuver around in garage or other obstacles. NOT sure if this is normal or if I possibly could have made an error in doing job.

At about 40K miles I replaced my comp with a Baker. As I just mentioned in another comp related post I discovered my primary bearings, both inner and outer, were toast and needed replacement. Did you examine those bearings?

ah, the glue in piece 'upgrade' sounds more like a band-aid to me versus a solution, thats why I was leaning at Baker when I do pull the trigger.

The purpose of it is to get more oil splashing over it to reduce wear. I haven't seen very many issues with the new one since it came out on the Rushmore bikes.
