Has anyone heard of problems with the compensating sprockets on 03 to 05 road kings and electic glides? My friend found it in an old volume of Thunder Press. It even has a service bulliten M-1170 but I can't find anything on it. My bike was vibrating like crazy and the dealer took it apart and could not find anything wrong but this is one of the symptons from the sprockets. Please advise if anybody has any onformation on this so I can have some ammo against the dealer I paid so much to.
Thanks

 

M1170 (attached) deals with the compensator nut and it coming loose. The sprockets themselves have not been faulty that I know of. If you're having just vibration problems I would start by looking at the motor mount. If you're having a knocking noise then it might just be the comp nut.

 

i changed out my front pulley from the origianl 25 tooth for a 24 tooth sprocket...I have not had any issues.
I do however really like the performance of the bike, I also changed the cams

 

I can't read dawg's TSB and I don't know if this means anything to you, my 04 Deuce (B motor) nut came loose and it made a ringing scraping noise. Pulled the nut, cleaned everything up and reinstalled it as per service manual. Best I can tell by page 2 is it looks like there is a torque + * spec now?

 

to read dawgs tbs you have to click on it then click on it again. It will
get big enough to read.

 

The spring went bad on my 07 e-glide,, the bolt was tight but the spring was bad, i put the scramin eagle compensator sprocket on. Tje bike had a rattle coming from the primary cover specifically when i was easing the clutch out.

 

Thanks guy's I'll call the dealer and see if they checked or did anything to it.
Thanks again for your info.
