SE Comp knock/jug
So fall last year I had a SE Comp put in my '09 Ultra. Since, at low idol I have a knock/jug (for lack of any better word), once and a while. My mechanic that installed it along with a mechanic at the local HD shop said it's actually kind of common with the SE Comps. Both said you can tick the idol up a bit and it will help, but not completely get rid of it. FM did my motor build so I emailed Jamie as well to see if my dyno jet allowed for idol adjustment. The one I have does not, but he also said, unless the idol is abnormally low, bumping up the idol isn't really going to do anything. He mentioned the SE Comp knock is hard to get rid of. But all of them assured me that it isn't anything to be concerned about, but rather more of a nuisance noise. You guys that have had a SE comp put in your bike. Have you noticed this happen to you as well? Just curious how common it is? If you were successful of getting rid of it at all?

Had that after a while. added shim to the spring pack and still running same SE comp for 5 years. some other solutions were tighten the bolt. the torque was increased in a service bulletin but I do not remember off hand to what.

Put the SE in mine along with a Hayden tensioner last June, after about 200 miles or so mine got the same knock, sitting at idle when I barley bump the throttle theres a knock, I checked the torque and chain slack at 500 miles all seems ok and no signs of chain slap or metal shavings, and performance seems fine.
