Engine produces excess heat that can burn you and when hot runs erratic at idle. Especially noticble when stopped at a light and the systems gets so hot it can burn your legs. I have an older harley and this is not a problem with it

The compensator sprocket failed which destroyed the clutch basket that sent chunks of the clutch basket into the primary chain locking up the motor instantly at 65 miles an hour luckily I've rode my entire life and didn't crash or get hit this has been an on going problem since the new primary set up was introduced harley will not take this problem seriously I guess not enough people have crashed or died

Bike stalls and stops when at a light. Also idle fluctuates between 7000 and 12000 rpms then jumps to 14000. Almost had 2 accidents with wife on the back .

At 70 MPH on my 2007 harley davidson flhx the compensator broke apart. I could hear some noise on the left side where the primary cover is. After stopping and then starting the motor back up, when I placed the transmission back in gear the primary locked up and froze everything up. If this happened while driving this could have been deadly. If you look at forums, this seams to be a problem with all of the newer harley's with the 96" motor. With mine braking the way it did, it messed up the transmission shaft as well as the main engine shaft resulting in a (Estimated) $6000 repair. Please do…
