So here we go. The original setup. Despite what Marcel le manchild says, 60k is good going for the original compensator on this model year, the compensator is the cog on the left. Pre 2006 compensators last a lot longer as do post 2013although the standard self racheting primary chain adjuster can be a problem, as you may see i fitted a Hayden M6 tensioner many moons ago which may be why mine has lasted so well. On inspection there was not a lot of wear on the compensator except for the peaks but the belville spring basket was pretty well shot, this is why it was noisy and i was getting vibration.

Well you need to please your EU overlords.

I can get my bike mot done on the phone.

I could tell you but then I would have to kill you (and make it look like a bike accident).

Mine has hydraulic tensioners. As usual you are wrong on all counts.

Retard.

There will be some tomorrow, I’m currently machining the flange on the inner primary case so I can remove the stator in future without removing the inner primary.

Time for a major service and will replace the compensator as it is getting noisy, it’s a wear part but has done well to get to nearly 60k miles, Harley have changed the design but I have splashed out on a Dark Horse Motorsprocket that can be serviced indefinitely for about £30 every 20k miles.
