08 Electra Glide Starter noise
Having problems with my 08 Glide. When hot, I have a severe grinding noise coming from primary area of bike when starting. Stoped by Harley Dealership yesterday. Said probably need new SE Compensator as he is seeing more and more of these issues. At 250.00 bucks for this, not including labor, it can be quite expensive. Anyone heard of a recall? My engine is completely stock except for Arlen Ness Fuel Management System.

Compensator/Starter 2009 Ultra Classic
I have had the starter noise and hard starts for some time,seems it only happened after stopping engine for a short time to refuel or run in a quickstop. Daytona HD replaced starter last March it was destroyed. But this did not stop the noise. I ordered a new SE compensator recently and installed it this week and my noise and hard starting problems are fixed.
Harley dealers would not admit to the compensator problem at all they came up with all sorts of could be this or that.
Thanks to this forum my problems are solved :-)

finding a dealer that will do that is like finding a needle in a hay stack. But their is a few across the country that will.
