SE Compensator for 2011???
I'm reading that a the SE Compensator is a must for 09-10's.
Did they resolve the problems on the 11's, or should I get one for my 2011?
Thank you!

Supposedly, the 2011's have the SE Comp from the factory. But there is a possibility some of the very first may, or may not, have them on.
Also, they are a "must" for 07's up. That is when Harley changed the compensator design to what we are finding is a weaker, less reliable design.

one of the problems that resulted in many to change their compensators is the crank bang grind at startup once the bike is warm problem. it looks like the Harley answer to this is both a compensator upgrade and the install of compression release begining 2012.

You should be able to tell if your '11 has a SE compensator if you listen to the engine start on a stock '09 or '10 model. It made a world of difference on my '09 Ultra Classic. It doesn't even sound like the same scoot on start up.
