Could be the compensator bolt has loosened up. If it has just don't retorque it. Take the bolt out clean both sets of threads good, lock-tite it and retorque to spec.
Good advice, I believe it has to hold 160 ft pounds, mine didn't and had to be replaced along with most of the primary side of the bike.
Yes Exactly. I had mine replaced about 10K miles ago. It feels like a lower end knock now, so I think it has re-ocurred. I was hoping to make it to the end of summer before tearing into it again. I am wondering if it is a common (design) problem with the Twin cam 88 B's ?
Not sure if it is a common problem but I've read other threads about it so it must be somewhat of a issue.
Which makes me think of another question/suggestion for this forumn. What about a List of most common repairs by model and year ??
