i would like to thank you for your install photos. this was the first newer bike i have dug into and knowing what tools are needed upfront was great. my compensator had that brown looking crap in it and you could see where it was galling on the spokes of the sprocket, but i'm going to run it until it's goes bad and gets loud. when adjusting my slack in the chain ti was 3/4 or the next notch was to tight. can't wait to take it for a ride.

you know i was taking a good look at the auto tensioner i took out of my bike and it has some deep grooves in it for only having 5000 miles on it. it did seem it would have been on the tight side after it got warm.

well i got to put 200 miles on the bike with the baker adjuster today. i was surprised at how well it felt, shifting is smoother and less clunky. what really surprised me was it got rid of at least 50% of all the compensator clunking and i was not expecting that, my compensator is pretty quiet now. only clunked going into first the first time after the first cold start of the day. the whole bike feels alittle smoother with less slop in the drive line. i was kinda expecting to feel more slop in the drive line. the entire primary seems quieter too!, don't know how or why, but so far i like it.

So, it sounds like a great product. Great write up Joe.

What is the cost of the unit with the discount? Having trouble with the Baker site. One of the replies said 20% and I think Mark said 10%.
