Sorta not really. The first time he said around july 6th and a week after that he then told me he had them out in bikes beta testing them and it would be at least 2 more months. Also some Mfr issues with mas producing the isolators but yet there is no date in stone. Call him on the phone for more detailed info.

I installed one of the early SE comps almost four years and 30k miles ago, and I've had no trouble at all. No weird noises or other anomalies that some others have reported. The tensioner is the original HD and I've always used Castrol GTX 20w50 oil in the primary, changed every 5k.

One trusted tech suggested that I do an inspection of the entire primary at 60k, which I've already surpassed, but am thinking maybe I shouldn't start fixing it when it ain't broke yet.

 

Been running M1 20w50 for 122k. I might gamble on another SE comp and change brands of oil. I dont think I can wait 2 plus month for a Hobanized comp.

 

Regular or high mileage?

 

How much do SE compensator's cost?

 

Bout 207-240 depending on dealer.

 

I JUST bought one 6/28/13... Cost $212.46 + tax

 

Thx! All!

 

The noise is probably related to reflected energy being felt from the rear pulley back thru the transmission to the compensator. There are tons of threads on this beginning when the 6 speed was introduced. The bandaid was the Isolated Drive Sprocket (IDS) kit, commonly called the cush drive in models post 2007. Baker introduced the F6F to deal specifically with this problem. The SE compensator doesn't unload to the same degree when the reflected energy is felt and therefore was considered a more permanent fix. The problem is the tranny IMO. The good news is that although noisy, the integrity of the complete drivetrain is not compromised. Irritating? Most definitely!

 

Well I think Im going to put it back toghether and use some 20w50 oil and see
if it makes any difference!!

Thanks for all the input
