If you decide to replace the compensator, (I would recommend it) the rotor on the engine crank shaft inboard of the compensator will also need to be replaced. All of the new compensators require the new rotor including the latest of the Harley comps. The parts guy is not trying to con you out of more money.

I had all the symptoms of a "bad compensator". Batteries wouldn't last 2 years, starter clutch issues, loud bang from primary on hot starts...
I began doing some research and came to the conclusion (my conclusion and I'm not saying it will work for all compensator problems) that the BANG, CLANG, CLUNK was not caused by the compensator but was a symptom of a different problem..

those easy start cams are a good idea.
