Did you think the removal torque was more than 150 ft.lbs ?

If your mechanic only tightened the compensator bolt once and stopped The bolt could actually be loose now.

@@randymccalla9995 He did everything correctly. We sent the unit back to Baker, they made some adjustments , we took out the Attitude Adjuster, and it’s much quieter now.

Talking about a bit of slack in the chain?

Did you make sure, to loosen the compensator bolt one turn after going 100 ft lbs, and then taking It back to the 140 or 160 or whatever It is supposted to be ?

It's 44 dry.

I said at the start of the video when I was showing the parts the bike had hot starting issues...kicking back, making a weird grinding noise that’s the main sign your compensator is fucked....probly same issues your having and that’s why your here researching.....that comp had its day after about 60,000kms....lasted longer than the stock so happy about that...it’s a wear part designed to wear so crank won’t scissor etc so they will never last forever....I’ve gone to a man o war compensator from dark horse crank works there design is new and I think will be the better fix, it’s a solid sprocket but inner is basically Cush drive using hard rubbers so instead of using a spring pack and ramps that will eventually fail all you’ll have to do is replace those internal rubbers for like $100aud instead of replacing a whole compensator for 800aud....been in my bike around 4000kms now without any issue but I will say bike doesn’t like the lower rpms as much now so you can’t lug your bike as much (not that you should be) but I find myself sometimes in a lower gear at some speeds than I would before

At 60k was it the spring pack, spinning too. ??

@@mancavecycleworks7683 Yeah same exact symptoms grinding and metal-on-metal slamming sound when hot. I'm on my third compensator but doesn't help much. I don't know the history of my engine but I think they put a Big bore kit in it, it has compression releases on the heads probably for a reason.

Did u put in the man o war yet? Debating between baker or man o war.

@@ethanintheelements2528 yeah mate it’s in! Done about 2,000kms on it so far and no issues...sorted the worn baker so that’s good, motor feels a bit different tho definitely can’t lug it as much (not that I think I do a lot) plus my manual tensioners might have something to do with that aswell so hard to say what it would feel like with a auto tensioner Baker was good got way more kms out of it than stock but it’s still a part that’s meant to wear out better than than say your crank scissoring....went with man of war for the design as it’s Cush drive basically....and when the hard runners wear out will cost me $100 aud (roughly Mabye a touch less) shipped to my door to freshen up instead of another $800 aud (roughly) for a complete new compensator

Sweet man. Prolly gonna go with the man o war myself, with a baker attitude adjuster. Unfortunately the sprocket is backordered for 3 weeks and my primary is already apart 😅

@@ethanintheelements2528 check if fuel moto or cycle solutions have them...they both stock them

The service manual on my '95 with manual adjustment says check every 5000 miles.

will an '06 outer primary cover bolt to an '07?

You know the spring pack is a quick fix on your 05' I'll bet !!

@@Will8022000 I would say no It wont because the Transmission on the 07 is six speed..

Sometimes you just gotta make do if your not in a workshop....totally get it tho....60,000kms later still running well, thanks for the feed back 🤘🏼
