Consumer Description

COMPENSATOR FAILURE. THE COMPENSATOR ON MY H-D HAS DEVELOPED A BANGING NOISE ON STARTUP AND CONTINUES TO MAKE NOISE UP TO THE 3500 RPM RANGE. HARLEY DAVIDSON IN MIAMI, FLORIDA SERVICED MY MOTORCYCLE AND FOUND THE MOUNTING BOLT TO BE LOOSE. AFTER SERVICE THE COMPENSATOR THE NOISE RECURRED AFTER 100 MILES. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE IF THIS UNTIL SHOULD COME APART AND LOCK UP THE DRIVE TRAIN WHILE RIDING WHICH WOULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE RIDER AND PASSENGER. HARLEY DAVIDSON HAS RECOGNIZED THIS ISSUE AND HAS CORRECTED THE PROBLEM ON THE 2011 MODELS AND THEY REFUSE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE ON THE 2009-2010 MOTORCYCLES.
