Well done, Bad Matt! Watching your "mishaps" was great entertainment! Also appreciate all your efforts in presenting this educational and thoroughly enjoyable video!

Best comedy on you tube. Keep it up.

You just made my night

Compensator nut should be 150 ft lbs (tighten to 120 ft lbs then back off) and I got tired of it backing off after a while so used like two drops of Red Locktite and problem solved. And that inner primary bearing race crap can go. I installed a sealed bearing and omg what a difference. And they're only $50.00 (if you get the cheap All Balls Chinese one for $20 thats on you) but quieter, no more leaks and it holds up. Glad i made the change cuz got tired of the oil leak i couldn't ever find.

never use a impact gun on the compensator, it shakes the magnets off the stator housing

Friends? Can I share this great video? I want to use it for maintenance...Thank you!

sing an impact wrench on the compensator may disconnect the magnets from the stator opening a whole new can of worms.

Thank is good to know.

What torque specs is that impact. Trying to decide which Milwaukee impact to buy for this job. Mid torque model I’d 650 ft lbs and high torque is like 1000

How does using impact on rear starter bolt?

Don't usually comment on this kind of stuff but have to on this one. The main shaft race, inner primary and clutch bearings are not even in play when you rotate the back wheel. That sound you indicated was more likely in the final drive system, maybe a bad wheel bearing, or possibly the transmission output main bearing. Or as simple as the belt rubbing on something... K

You kick ass

you have to be an engineer, or something.....smart as a whip! every harley guy, should have you on their block. instead of traveling 5-20 miles to the closest indy/dealer.

6:30 man, it's a costly lessons

Good Video~~~~

Hi, I fix same noise, the main shaft bearing. I bought the necessary tool to get out the inner race and a bearing from Baker. A friend get out from primary case with hydraulic press and put the new bearing. This is in Mallorca, Spain. The most useful tool is no doubt, a good disassemble and assembly instructions book and the necessary tools. I had to diagnose the cause before all but I like mechanic and the official HD here is very (very very very,,,,) bad

Good stuff good stuff 👍👍👍 Can you replace that with a Timkin bearing?? Or has to be the same kind of needle?

If you had to replace the main shaft bearing, then the automatic chain tensioner was too tight. Get rid of it, and put in a manually-adjustable tensioner.

I had to do the same on my 2010 Lost my mainshaft the first time and on the second fail the tensioner had to go. My mechanic didn't tell me my chain tensioner broke it till the second go round. Now my compensator sounds like a small ball pean tapping the case.

Same here on my 08 Ultra. Replaced mainshaft bearing and all the seals plus inner primary bearing. Put a baker attitude chain adjuster and and baker compensator in and so far all is good. Did all this a few years ago when I realized it was the automatic chain tensioner doing all this destruction

Just drained my primary oil on my 06 sporty and found large metal shavings and a couple teeth. Trying to figure out what it could be before tearing into it.

@@AverageCitizen333 I dont have the stock clutch. Upgraded with the screaming eagle a few years ago. Turns out the shavings came from the flywheel. Before I upgraded to a performance starter, the bike used to do an engine kickback sometimes during starting. My guess is that's when it happened. Not an issue anymore.

Did that give you a bad vibration in the engine?

@badmatt4227

2 жыл бұрын

No, I only noticed after the engines was warm and rotating the back tire. However, if There is vibration. Maybe look at the compensator and/or check the runout on the pinion shaft.

also check main shaft bearing as well they make very loud noises and wear out all other primary parts in addition to cause a catastrophic wheel lock at ridding speeds that can be fatal Harley had my bike 6 times for repair of different accessories from Starters to clutch hub bearings and a few misc, parts not a single one of them ever looked or said anything about the main shaft bearing yet my noise never went away about 8 months later after my used bike warranty was up I decided to pull the primary apart to track down the noise being an experienced Bike mechanic I had a hunch glad I did as soon as I got all the parts free from the tranny the main shaft wobbled like a stick shifter go figure ..............Needless to say that dealer will never see another dime from me ever again!!!! I will fix it my self or take it to a different HD shop

Put bareing in the freezer first will press in easy

Buddy, unless you are out of touch or simply ignorant, YOU DO NOT USE AN IMPACT TOOL EITHER ON THE COMPENSATOR SPROCKET NUT/BOLT OR THE CLUTCH HUB NUT 1 you will loosen the magnets inside the rotor and 2 you are taking a chance at getting the crankshaft out of round..,

So, instead of wanting to be helpful. You take pompous arrogant douche approach and go straight criticizing others. Which is indicative of a leftist approach to communication. I hope you don’t have children. Scroll down and you will see that “Alanmiller366” has already made similar comment. Try to mimic his style. Skip the childish insults and go straight the information.

Shameful, lack of professionalism, manual makes it very clear that for any maintenance on the bike the first thing is to remove the main fuse and disconnect the battery. If you didn't burn the module, you were very lucky.
