also comp bolts should be used one time only due to high torque and stretching that is why the method of the two step process of torquing the bolt and yes red lock tight a must. Keep us posted of what the dealer has to say and if they actually can fix it.

2010 Ultra
I have a 2010 Ultra with 29,000 miles. A friend (former HD Master Tech) was putting on a new rear tire. He asked me if sometimes it made a kind of clicking or clunking noise on letting the cluth out in first gear. Kind of like engine knock but from the left side. I said yes and he said my compensator was going. Said listen to this as he let clutch out against brake. Instead of engine bogging down it started to make a clicking noise from the primary.
Took it to the dealer and they are replacing the compensator. They are putting in a SE one because in 2011 they are standard on all touring models.

Actually, the refill quantity "dry", as in when you remove the outer primary cover, is 45 ounces, not 32 or 38, uless this has changed. My '07 book states 45 ounces dry and 38 if just doing a fluid change.

Just wanted to be sure you knew - somewhere in this thread 32oz and 38oz were mentioned and as you've read, 38 is only for a fluid change.
