    that article was in 2011.
    Its the 2011, 2012,2013 SE comp sprocket.
    I got the newest 2014 model that I sent you.


    Here is what the 11,12,13 SE comp looks like compared to the 2014 SE comp.

    Mechanic is a MMI graduate, very sharp.
    He's the one that did the 120R race motor on the rocker and Had to beef other parts up.
    He showed me the old compensator and sprocket and took the time to explain everything to me.

    I stood there and watched him use the locktite myself.
    He used to work at one of the Biggest dealerships in Houston before he went to a smaller sister store.

    Well he keeps saying it makes a noise so is it like a Aamco customer describing the noise. I think CB is so concerned about it he hears things and and thinks there is something wrong. CB, just ride and keep it under warranty.

    Cranked the bike up today. No noise, Went on a Ride, and still no noise.
    Filled the bike up and came home.

    OL got a award for the good work she did. Were riding 50 miles up to a little bigger town. She has a 50.00 Chili's Certificate.
    They got a Harbor freight up there.Want to get a couple wobble extensions that they got on a special.
