Compensating Sprocket
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 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?
