I threw my stock 2010 Street Glide auto tensioner in the garbage where it belongs. My chain was way too tight and the primary was wining big time (bike only has 3,700 miles. I installed a hydraulic SO Hot Bikes HB125-07 Primary Chain Tensioner for Big Twins and wow what a difference. No more wining and the bike shifts and drives amazing now.

Thanks Doc! I had a 2004 Fatboy as my first Harley and I learnt a lot on that bike as far as maintaining a Harley and I would regularly check my primary chain tension, when doing oil changes ect. But I sold that bike a few months back and I bought myself a much lower kms Fatboy this time a 2009 model. When I did my first oil change and service on the new bike I noticed there was no inspection plate on the primary side like my 04. Now I know why! Thanks again Doc, and keep the videos coming. I have learnt so much and gained so much more confidence from watching your videos. Jason. Queensland Australia 🇦🇺

Thanks for the info on this auto primary chain adjuster. I've used the screwdriver trick many times. Although I agree snapping the throttle will tighten the primary chain with this adjuster, I also found out that pulling a long mountain grade will also cause a tight chain. One of the best things I ever did to my 2007 FLHTCU was to install a Braker Drivetrain compensator and the manual Attitude primary chain adjuster. It eliminates the false over-tightening once and for all, along with smoothing out the dreaded primary chain snatch at startup.

The B was the third automatic tensioner if I understand correctly? The A was the second, and is the one installed in my 2009. From what I hear, the B tensioner should solve most problems. Still not sure I feel reassured since Doc here mentioned the aggressive throttle getting a to tight chain. Oh, and the chain TIGHTENS when the bike gets warm. Which means I have a hard time starting my 2009 again after filling gas... (Also seems plausible this tensioner of mine might be why it sounds like the compensator is on it's last legs. Haven't opened it up to check yet, will when I get a new tensioner. )

you say they changed in 06, was it late 06? I have an 06 ultra, it still has the inspection cover and the manual gives you instructions on adjusting. Haven't taken it apart to check, but its in the plans. Need to pull primary to change drive belt(53k miles on her), shifter shaft seal, and shifter arm. May have to look into the retro fit upgrade.

Can you provide any insight into the newest version? The 39929-06C. I notice the ramp that was metal on the A and B version is now polymer like the shoe on version C. Is this strictly a cost cutting measure per usual from Harley or do you think the teeth being plastic will shear if the belt becomes overly tight by the ratcheting? Thank you

I believe that the biggest problem with the adjuster is in abrupt downshifts, when in some cases the tire gets to drag on the ground and also when we start motorcycles without a battery for shifting into gear while pushing the bike.

Doc, Last weekend I rode my bike (street glide SP 16) It was about 105 degrees I think. Anyway my ride was fine until I got to my destination, I got back on the bike too move it and the clutch would not engage good, I finally got it moved. But what would cause this? After it cooled off it was fine, I also rode it a few days ago and the clutch feel fine.

@LowCountryHarleyDavidson 8 ай бұрын
There is an adjustment at the clutch. 1/4-3/4 turn out. BUT for police bikes during a competition we have to turn it out more for the extra heat. Heat can take up the slack at the 1/4-3/4 adjustment and disengage the clutch….Doc

This is so topical for me right now. I was just wondering about these the other day!! I was looking at the online catalog for SE options and this was there. So, for my stock but stage one 04 Softail...Hope you can answer: 1. Is there much threat of the ratchet up issue on mine with the auto-tensioner? I’m middle of the road or less on aggressive throttle. Again, Stage-One, TC88B which is otherwise bone stock. 2. In two years, with only 11,000 miles still on the bike, I need PC Chain tightening every service. Is this typical? Thanks so much for your videos, I really enjoy and learn from them every time.

To the point of people removing them shortly after install. Why are the manual tensioners more noisy and what if anything can help quiet them down? I know it's also a subjective thing but there are too many online posts about manuals being very loud. Looking forward to your thoughts Doc. Keep up the great videos!

When owners are use to the whine(sound) of the auto-tensioner and switch to the manual, most fail to find the "tight" link when adjusting the slack. So what started as a comfortable measurment for expansion in the primary is now way to much. even with my auto-tensioner I have started using the New HD gear oil for primarys and this has improved the sound...Doc

I replaced it and then that one stripped I caught it quickly and put on a new one back on again and rebuild starter thinking it was the starter and has been fine but what would make the starting part grind as it starts.. not sure if you have a way for me to send you a sample video.. but I’m at a loss.. thanks!

You have not supplied much info about your bike. Mileage, modifications,services, age of battery and more. A part that is overlooked until it makes noise is the motor compensator. When this wears it lags behind the starter dragging the motor along. The difference between these two not working together makes a grinding noise. Without having your bike it is one of the things to check….Doc

I cant get or even see the chain through the derby so I am going to take Primary cover off and reset adjuster.

I'm in my mid 60's now and racing days long since gone, but i will play from time to time, should i be concerned with the auto tensioner causing a bigger problem with the crank and pinion shaft side ?

The Auto-tensioner has its week points. When throttle abused. It can put additional stress on Compensator, clutch bearings, transmission bearings. I have not diagnosed a pinion shaft issue to a tensioner over tight. But there are many engine builder's like Baxter who can tell you more. Not addressing a loose or broken Compensator has ruined more flywheels...Doc
