Running a poll on compensator failures over in General Forum Chat. So far very few failures and low votes. Does this indicate this is NOT a wide spread issue? Or perhaps just a general lack of concern.

 

Does 'noise' count? There would be a lot of votes, if it does.

 

The "noise" comes free of charge on all Harleys. Havent you heard "its normal".

 

Lol...!

Why do you think it's the Compensator and Not the Starter Clutch ?

 

that is the answer i always get......ITS NORMAL IT IS A HARLEY....

 

mine failed at 13k miles on the ultra

 

they just replaced mine under waranty, spring pack failer, screamin eagle was on back order so i coulnt upgrade,alot better though, no noise.

 

Recently had mine replaced with new one. Didn't know it was a problem until shop installing my 107" pistons and compression releases asked me about clanking noise when shutting down the engine. Being my first Harley I didn't know what noises were normal and what wasn't....cost me another $400.00.....sheesh.

Now I hear there's a better replacement...a Screamin' Eagle heavy duty version...I hate Harley-Davidson.....

 

Mine failed at less than 1000 miles, new 2010 Limited
