Factory to SE Compensator Swap: Part 1 - The Teardown

There is NO tensioner in this system to keep the rear drive belt under tension...

Very helpfull! Definitely very informative! Thank you

I looked all over my Moto Guzzi and couldn't find a compensator. Why doesn't Hardly put a good one in to start with ?

No matter how i tried, no way that the rotor was coming of without removing the inner cover. I made a long 1/4” allen key, with a ball shaped end, with that key i could loosen the bolts of the starter, so that the oil tank stayed in place. To get some more play with the allen key, i turn the bolts of the oil tank loose. Now i can take of the inner cover without grinding and swearing 🤬

Thanks for the idea of the block. Mine is an 03 fxdl and Ive been trying to get the big nut off the compensator half the damn day. I'll try your idea in the morning.

Great video Sir thank you!!!

I praise you sir! Thanks for helping people like me who are not so competent!

Very interesting and helpful.

Does anyone know witch order the stator plugs go in? My plug has a 123 numbers on it but the wires don’t

Hello Mark - I have a 2008 street glide with an LBP (Lozano Brothers Porting) 107 Pro Touring Kit. At the rear wheel, 110 hp/115 ft. lbs. torque. Will this compensator work on my street glide? Thanks for the videos.

I agree with mowermedic. These videos helped me a lot on my 09 FLHTCU. Thanks for taking the time to put this out there.

Great video...Getting ready to "look" at this on an 04 RK while changing out the tensioner...Love the homemade wedge.

Mark, thanks for the detailed video. Just did my 09 Ultra and it's so much better; no more clunking. Awesome. I installed the Screaming Eagle Compensator like you but left the springs as they came and it worked great. Just rode over 2,000 miles to Sturgis and around and back with no problems whatsoever. I love guys that just get in there and get 'er done. Props buddy!!!

If your taking the inner primary off you may as well just go open belt drive. Dry clutch kinda sucks but its easy to change plates though.

I have the big bore stage 3 and the compensator on my 05 keeps going loose and I'm not seeing the SE version for the 88

Do you have the Troque Spec sheet? I would love to use it if you could send to me?

How’s SE compensator treating you ?
And Hayden tensioner

you have the Hayden M6 BT07 primary chain tensioner and you have to replace the Compensator ? thats scary I replaced the Compensator but replaced the primary chain tensioner at te same time with the Hayden M6 BT07 primary chain tensioner the Hayden makes a rattling noise awful ..so I guess the Compensator has nothing to do with which primary chain tensioner you have

This video is spot on. My bike made same noise, same issue. The example shown was exactly same condition as mine with slop in the compensator. The disassembly shown helped me a TON. I knew exactly what to expect and how to do it. Perfect. Thank you!

Good time to replace clucth leaver

Never reuse o-rings or gaskets. Always replace them when disassembling parts and drain plugs.

Hello, very good videos, you have made it very clear how to change the compensator, and I will do it. I wanted to ask you a question, what size are the compensator nut and the clutch nut? and the one with the screming eagles compensator, is it a torx t70 ?, thank you very much.

Grind the primary case 😂😂😂😂😂😂 it take 15min to remove the clutch and the ring gear -_-

Did you consider to go with solid sprocket in stead of compensator?

You’re very good, and the explanation so clear , very useful

My solution take mine out with a pipe wrench with a four foot bar. Tied the bike that it dont turn with the F. bolt.

Question: If the problem with the compensator is that little "spring" getting weak why not just replace the spring instead of going as far as you did?

The spacer and seal on the crank in middle of stator came out on mine. Can you tell me if the seal goes in flat side toward case or open side with rubber toward the case pls?

Great video Mark, really informative and well done! Salute!

Hi Mark I know this video is 3 years old but my 2009 Ultra Classic needs a compensator do you by any chance know the part number of the Screaming Eagle Compensator you bought off ebay also having a problem find SE Stator Rotor. Thank you if you see this

Hi again Mark one more question did eliminating the small beveled and adding a 3rd medium one work for you? I bought a SE Compensator just like yours but after installing it I still have rattle and clunking sometumes at start up. Thank you for your time

Hello Mark,
How is the bike running since you installed the medium Boneville Washer? I had 2 small washers and still hear noise so I wanted to see if you’re method did the trick. Thanks, G

Ottimo video grazie dall’Italia 🇮🇹

Just get new gaskets and o rings…. It’s not worth reusing these inexpensive parts…

Good video

Impact guns and Harley pie crust case bolts just don't go together

Can you just put some sort of sticky on the old bolts for the inner primary

I have 50,000 miles on my hayden and it’s just fine.

Just grind the lip offtheinnner primary.

Thank you for taking the time to make this Video Mark! I enjoyed watching it 👍

BUY A HONDA

Must live by a damn freeway 😅

I've been wondering why it is that in some videos, I see them placing an Allen wrench inside that clutch rod while using a wrench to loosen the nut? If you are not adjusting the clutch, is it okay not to do that?

I reused the bolts, but my james gasket kit came with new seals for all the bolts! Just an FYI, those seals on the bolts are replaceable, and cheap!

Do you recall the socket size needed for the comp nut? I know the clutch is 1 3/16”.

I need to see the video where he replaced the magnets someone help me I need to see it

I need to see your video on replacing the magnets
