How much oil are you running in the primary? Some of the guys with the Bandit are running low on the oil for the clutch but the compensator does not get enough oil for the long haul. I've already had 5 compensators replaced, so I'm on the 6th one right now. I run the AIM with the VP lock up and run one quart of Belray and so far it has lasted. I had to replace the stator over the winter. In 88,000 miles there isn't much I haven't replaced once or twice, it's a shame one has to replace enough parts that would build another bike just to put some miles on some of our bikes.
You are right about it not being fun to keep doing things over & over! Sounds like you should be set for awhile.
Yes, in light of Bandit's recommendation, I decided to run the low level that they insisted was great for their clutch and they claimed it would be fine for the comp and the stator.
A protracted discussion on another forum took place beforehand and an extension of that is going on now. Suffice it to say that I will be running *more* oil than Bandit recommends from now on. To be fair, the stator was old and tired and the insulation was no doubt somewhat compromised; I can't say the lack of cooling lube actually *caused* the stator immolation, but you can be assured that it didn't help prevent it!
Are you running the "New SE" comp? That's the one I used (in the 42200064A kit)
It *looks* like a much better design than its predecessor.
