Formula+ does, tho.

Please have a lot of enjoyable miles... I am right up the road on 250!

That's the first I've heard of that. I always run Formula+ in the primary and will probably change out the primary fluid after a few miles just for good measure. I'm not sure what fluid my Indy dumped in. Invoice just says "primary lube". Thanks for the tip. I spend of lot of time riding 250 north to Sandusky and south to Wheeling and beyond. Seems like no matter where I'm headed, I start out on 250.

Correction - the SE compensator is NOT generally more noisy than the OEM one. You just have to tighten up the footboard bracket that the Indy forgot to put a wrench on when he reinstalled it. Much better.

Yep. Once I tightened up the the footboard bracket the SE compensator got a lot quieter.
