Hi all,
Just completed the upgrade work on my compensator, gone through 3 compensators in the last 2 years (about 10,000miles),
finally got the latest version(2014) FOC from Harley (UK), fitted just in time to get the new "compensaver" oiling tray from GMR, Easy to fit and works very well, only thing was the radial thrust bearing fitted to the original SE compensator was very noisy, GMR now have a replacement for that in way of a composite thrust washer, got one, fitted it, NO more noise issue.
Have about 1,000 miles miles on the oil tray now, when I opened up primary to change out the thrust washer had look at the comp, very slight polishing on the ramps and no sign of fretting on the central part of the comp.
Now its also very quiet with the GMR composite thrust washer in place!
Although early days for me, it looks like fitting the 2014 SE Comp with the Compensaver oil tray + thrust washer fixes the problems encountered by the vast majority of people.
Take my word for it "IT WORKS GREAT". See compensaver.com website.
Ride Safe.
Trippy.
