I just installed the Baker as well as upgraded to the '14 SE compensator. When I removed the stock tensioner I had about 1/4" inch of free play in the chain. I wonder how tight my chain was getting when hot?
I set the Baker at 3/4" of free play. After a short test ride the bike shifts much smoother, finds neutral much easier, and the first gear clunk is practically gone especially when hot.

5 year old thread. Wonder how the choices lasted. Me I went with a new SE compensator and SE manual adjuster. Should have done both when this thread was fresh. Finding neutral is a piece of cake and no noise at all from the compensator.
