Installed the SE compensator on my 2010 SG early this spring. Have 4k miles on it and today I heard the knocking sound coming distinctly from the left side/Primary. Used the newer version and have had formula + in it. Interested to hear a resolution to this.. Hopefully it isn't going back to stock.

Starts 100% better now.

Why would they do that when they can sell you the "new and improved" version and make more money?

I have a S.E. compensator installed in my 2008 Electra-Glide-Ultra-Classic, replaced , because of broken-tooth on original. Installed according to instructions. Cleaned threads, chased-threads with tap/die,cleaned with brake-cleaner, installed red-lock-tite, double-checked bolt torque, thought, I would never look-back, yet still more noise that I like. I have replaced inner-primary-bearing & race, checked automatic-tensioner, chain, alignment of chain, and am not sure what to do from here. Crusing say around 50-mph, there is this sort of chatter, changing speed, clutching seems to make it go away. Moving bike short distance and clutching, I hear something like the chain tensioner working. Running Vtwin Mobile-1, with Lukas, Motorcycle-oil-stabilizer presently, seeing if makes any difference.

I plan on removing my SE Comp soon, installed it less than 2 weeks ago.
Can't deal with the chatter after it warms up. Quite an perfect until you have
run 30-40 miles. Chatter Chatter Chatter on a 08 with IDS. This Chatter is why
I put the IDS on my 07 then later sold the bike. Now I have the Chatter problem
back, this time on my 08. WTF?? I would rather have the HOT Start issues than
clatter while cruising down the highway.

I've got about 10-15k on my SE comp. Generating a lot of noise now, and she jerks like crazy going through a parking lot. I changed to the SE comp, 'cause of hammer-like slap at startup. I had been planning to pull the primary again to see if anything amiss. Hell, then I catch up on the forum a little, and here's all these threads about the SE comp being a POS... frick. Guess my winter projects got a little deeper...
