Just installed a baker comp no more rattle. Harley just called because I have a ball bearing sound in my trans when the clutch is engaged and they say its perfectly fine. I guess I will get a baker trans next.

I was very excited and pleased with the baker.  Until my stator went out.  It was in 5 months and 9,000 miles.  After removing and inspecting.  Here is what the comp surfaces looked like.  Hope you have better luck.  Had to go back to the Harley SE comp.





Don't know how but I would say surfaces got very hot.  Very disappointed.  I thought it was a great design until I saw this

might want to have a look at my " scissor gear" thread. I also am also big fan of Steve's Compensaver. I run the SE Comp & Compensaver.  Gotta get oil to whatever your running to make it live. Compensaver will NOT work with baker compensator.

Which bike of yours was this on?? Do you think that any of this (install maybe??) caused the Stator to go out?? Could the Stator have been the heat source?? Any pics of the Stator??

Thanks for the info.

No I believe the install was great and by the book.  Truly not sure of the cause.  To me it appears to be a lubrication problem. Appears to be a high amount of friction on those surfaces.  Oil was change at 1k and at 5k after install.  Used and still use spectro primary oil.  And I actually do have a pic of the stator
