Is this a question or statement? I doubt it's dangerous, I believe (may be wrong) the main symptom of it is hard starts after motor gets warm/hot. I know that's what my 2010 SG did,, also a 96 CID motor.

I'm still trying to decipher the OP's post. Is this a question, statement or are you asking if you should change out the compensating sprocket?
Or are you asking what the compensating sprocket is and is it dangerous to ride?
Well, my answer is, no it's not dangerous to ride. It will eventually do damage to your primary drive eventually depending upon how worn out it is. It can be a rather annoying thing like dawg stated.
What bike do you have and do you have a FSM?

I wonder why it's so difficult for people on the World Wide Web to communicate clearly and completely. Have we really gotten that lazy?

You need to change it out as soon as possible. Many people speak highly of the Baker Compensator, but I don't know anything about the difference. Harley upgraded to the SE compensator in 2011 I think.
