Compensator adhesive

[trikermutha]

For those of you going to install the SE compensator do not buy the rotor as the instructions state..Part #30041-08A this is already on the Trikes now..The rotor is for the other models listed on the instructions it is a bit confusing.

I can see why now the stocks Compensators are failing.. no lubrication..Mine was rusting in places causing that knocking noise in the primary..

Yep the fretting and galling of the older one was a big problem, I've heard a few rumors that they have already made some changes to the 2014 design also. I'll bet yours was clanking pretty good when you shut the engine off, my dads started to clunk pretty hard when his went bad.

My was making noise under load..a bit different than what I been reading.. The rust I seen was inbetween the compensator plates..

Normally something like this picture is what folks have been seeing.
