?? SE Compensator ??
Is it possible that this helps starting? ? In a 103 thread someone posted he used this instead of compression releases. Don't see how this eases starting ??

It did wonders for my 08. No starter kick back and much less noise when starting out in 1st gear.

Has you bike ever kicked back while starting?
you know puff through the breather.
That is pretty much caused by the compensator.
Mine got so bad it would be like the clutch was slipping but with a jerking motion and loud sounding at times.
The SE compensator should come on 96 inch motors. Mine went out at 32,000 miles.
Now the bike cranks better, no banging with the starter, smoother idle and running.
Mine was toast though.
I have no idea if it would be able to take care of high compression. There is no doubt it would take some strain off the starter.
