Default HELP. SE compensator install pics

I'm trying to find the thread that shows the pictures of the area that needs to be ground to get the SE compensator in without loosening the inner primary cover.

I already know that the install may not require this but I want to be prepared in case it is necessary.

Can anyone help?

There are so many threads on the SE compensator and I don't have 2 hours to look through all of them. THANKS!

Steve

PS - No, I'm not messing with my 2011. I already know that the SE compensator came stock in my bike.

If your planning on doing the job, when you go to pull the stator cover off you will see the areas on the case that need to be ground down. Each case is different, one person said here that his came off without any grinding. No sense taking more off then necessary. With a die grinder and a round sanding drum, I was done in a few minutes.

I was able to remove and replace mine by loosening the inner primary bolts about 4 threads. If you're determined to grind however, you'll need to grind approximately between 6:00 0'clock and 9:00 o'clock as you look at the stator.

I had my primary cover off to check torque on the compensator. Looked to me like the stator would clear on the 11, but could be wrong.

Any leakage issues after retorquing the inner bolts?
