On the way home from work yesterday, coming up to a red light 2 blocks from the house and I get the dreaded sound of gravel, and metal chunks in the primary.  God awful grinding and chattering.  Got it home and to the shop today.  Oh, by the way it's on a 2013 Road Kind CVO FLHSE5 with 6500 miles on it.  I had traded in my 2011 Road King Classic on this one but on the 2011, I had the compensator sprocket wear out and the HD dealer replaced it with the SE upgraded one.  He told me that HD sent out a memo to all of the dealers that the manufacturer who makes the sprocket for Harley had gotten in a bad batch of cheap metal and these things were failing left and right.  Well, I kind of have to wonder why it went out on the 110" SE CVO then.  Will update after repairs.

You know I too thought I had a bad Comp.  Only to find out the HD dealer that sold it new charged the guy for a Screaming Eagle re-flash and never did the flash and the compression releases were OFF!

After I installed the Kuryakyn re-flash system, I turned on the compression releases and all my starting issues are gone!  I change my primary every 3k miles.  Comp. looks good and have only clutch finds in the oil.

Next project is to deck the heads for more Compression and then cams....

Damn business partner has one of those 130 S&S motors on his old Bagger.  Kicks my butt every time!

I have 45,000 miles on my sprockets, compensator,clutch  basket and manual chain adjuster.  The only problem I had was that a screw come lose on the serrated Bracer. It ate one roller on half of one link.
Made awful noise and was able to limp home 30 miles out in the country where cell phones don't work.
