´08 FLHX ANNIVERSARY- 30K MI. COMPENSATOR ISSUE 
STEVE GREGORY said 2026-05-26 09:42 
 
´08 FLHX @ 30k miles, I had a compensator issue that ruined my primary chain, clutch hub, the metal shavings ruined the trans bearings, shift shaft, a transmission gear. There´s no reason the compensator should have done all this, Never a burnout, slip the clutch or speed shift. This is a stock motorcycle with slip on mufflers in Nor Calif.
$4400 later it still clunks.
Anyone familiar with this.
