Consumer Description

WHAT WE HAVE DISCOVERED IS THE COMPENSATOR SPROCKET HAS EITHER WORKED LOOSE OR IS CRACKED, THIS IS WITHIN THE SHAFT ASSEMBLY WHERE THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY AND PRIMARY FINAL DRIVE IS LOCATED, HARLEY KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS, AND IT COULD RESULT IN THE DRIVE TRAIN LOCKING UP IF THE ASSEMBLY LOCKS UP OR SOMETHING COMES LOOSE AND CAUSES SUCH AN EVENT IT COULD LOCK UP THE REAR WHEEL AND CAUSE A CRASH I KNOW OF A FEW PEOPLE THAT ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE, AND ALSO JUST FROM RESEARCH ONLINE THERE ARE A LOT OF MOTORCYCLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
