SE Compensator I recommend
The SE Compensator has been talked about just about as much as the new frame on 09 and newer sleds...
I installed one on my 07 this past Saturday AM took me 2 hours and that included grinding the lip off the front edge of the inner primary so I could pull out the Alternator Rotor without taking off the inner primary cover and clutch (I did not want to pull my clutch because I have a Primo Rivera clutch).
Anyhow. I will confirm what others have said...What a great add to the "olé steed". Neutral? ~ no problem very sweet, Shifting? ~ sweeter than ever, Engine turn over? ~ awesome, and I have a 103 HQ that at times has caused me some serious pucker factor.
Cost me under $255.00 including 6% tax out the door.
SE Kit # 40274-08
Outer Primary Cover Gasket #34901-07
O-ring for drain plug #11105
1 quart oil (I use ATF) $3.00 ~ No I don't care what you use
Love the differance...makes the engine and trans feel like I'm sitting on something slicker than ****.

Is there something special about a Rivera clutch that makes it a PIA to remove? No sarcasm, I'm just curious.

Might want to check the fill capacity for primary when you pull the full primary outer case. On my 2010 it's 45 fl oz. (38 if the cover isn't removed).

I will be doing a friends bike in a week so maybe a picture of the grind should be taken. Your basically taking the casting down so it looks flush...kinda hard to explain, but you will quickly understand when you look at.

There are a few write-ups in here with great pic's on the swap-out. I stole this one off one of them showing the primary edge shaved so the original comp clears.
