I had the screamin eagle compensator installed under warranty this past week.
I am very happy with the way the bike starts now. And the noise  and vibration I was hearing/feeling while it was idling in neutral/clutch out is now gone.
I did pay the price difference between the stock and the screamin eagle unit.

Just installed new SE compensator. Huge difference in starting and now when taking off in first gear the clutch grabs rightaway and I have power instantly. Use to have to ride the clutch a bit to start not anymore. Great improvement. Done under ESP{ plan only 50 bucks plus 50 bucks for upgrade to SE compensator Billy

There's not...  This has to be a casting variation or machining error....   :nixweiss:

  I started today to replace my compensator with the new one.  As mentioned in other posts here, I couldn't get the rotor to clear the casting on the inner primary.  Using a feeler gauge I could see where the problem was so I got out my trusty half moon file and started in on it.  Took a while of filing and checking and sanding it smooth but I finally got enough removed to get the rotor off.  I honestly believe it's a casting tolerance error---just poor manufacturing.   I can't see any reason at all that they would make it so that the inner primary would have to come off.   Also the service manual doesn't make any mention of removing the inner primary.  I used a file (I was going to use a grinder but didn't want all the grinding dust) so I could easily control and clean up the filings.
   Just thought I'd post what I found with my bike.
