| Description of the problem | My compensator went bad about a year ago while my bike was still under extended warranty. The dealer said it was just normal noise. Now come to find out harley davidson knows they have a problem with their compensator. They don't even last 20,00 miles and i think they should recall them. All you have to do is go on the harley davidson forums and there you will find all kinds of mad owners that this has happened to. They know about it and won't do anything about it. I thought the whole point of a recall is when the part is at default they should get fixed. |
