Default Se rotor 30041-08 Baker comp

I am hoping someone has experience with this issue. I am installing a baker compensator and it says I need to purchase se rotor 30041-08A. I have the se 30041-08. Will this work?

I would not trust any of the clowns who might respond with an answer to your question.....including myself. I installed the Baker and bought the recommended rotor. Call Baker, they are the only people you should be asking. Good luck. My Baker has been great for past 10,000 miles.

I bought the recommended rotor and installed. I will button it up in the morning. I know the the rotor I mentioned is the first version of the se comp rotor. It's a moot point now. I will call baker anyway and if I could have used it I will just sell it cheap.

Default Clarification … somewhat

This should have been posted in the Primary/Transmission/Driveline/Clutch section that Baker monitors more closely, but hopefully they will see it and respond with their latest findings.

Background ( as I understand it ):
When Baker came out with their compensator the 30041-08A was the current rotor available for purchase ( it was an update to the 30041-08, I do not remember the difference.)

Their compensator is a replacement for 2007 touring models an up.

From 2007 to 2010 the touring models used a rotor (I believe was the 40356-07) that had an integral spring-pack.
That rotor can not be used with their compensator.
They state in their instructions that any replacements using that rotor (with the integral spring-pack) need to have the rotor replace with the then (and now currently available) 30041-08A.

So the question in this case is, can you use the 30041-08 that you have, or do you need to purchase the 30041-08A. That question has come up often, not only with the Baker compensator replacement, but with the SE compensator as well.

For your 30041-08,

(emphasis added)

Although HOGNOT did properly suggested you should contact Baker for their current findings, purchasing something you do not need is a waste of money. If HOGNOT was replacing his/hers original 2009 rotor then he/she was right in purchasing the 30041-08A, but if he/she was replacing a failed SE replacement compensator where the rotor had already been replaced, then I guess he/she is right, he/she is a clown.

But then again, according to HOGNOT , I am a clown for responding.

Call Baker

For future reference - take a few minutes to search. I just searched "30041-08 baker" (without quotes) and 4 threads came up. A quick browse of the threads found posts from Mark at Baker saying their comp works with either 30041-08 or 30041-08A. All done in about 3 minutes.
