inner bearing race problems
Hello,
I own an electra glide 2010.
First time inner bearing race problems after 20k km. I installed a Hayden chain tensioner and changed the outer bearing of the race of course.
Now 2e time again a bad race after 15k km. I can do the job myself to change the race but this is not normal I think.
I now changed the primary oil for ATF-ford ( thinner oil) en installed a race from S&S whitch can't travel to the seal.
What more can I do to make the bike reliable? Baker attitude chain tensioner? baker compensating sprocket?

The S&S race is the fix. I think you will be ok from here.

unclear why you'd think the Hayden or your comp would play into its failure?
Barbie comment above....how do you remove the comp and clutch? are you using the locking bar? or the little 'steps' that are advised against
not going to get into a fluid discussion, but I run F+, it works really well for me.

F150HD,
I changed the bearing inner race (S&S)and the bearing which is coming over the race sitting in the chaincase housing.
reading more about the problem i'am going to believe the real problem is coming from a bad compensating sprocket. Last week i added a 5th spring into the compensator facing out and the bike is like a dream. No more clunk, clink and a smooth ride. When i stop the motor a quit end and not a clunk.

I still think I'm going to replace mine with the Baker comp and be done with it.
