    Compensator noise?

    Can you hear the compensator?

    It is normal for it to make a kind of random clacking at idle?

    How do you know if a shovelhead compensator is bad?

    Do they go bad?

      If it rattles at idle, it's wore out.

        It really doesn't very much.. But it does make a little noise.

        Do you replace them with a flat sprocket? Or another compensator?

          There are several wear points and fixes for all of them. A solid sprocket (and a 7/8-14 nut) is a decent replacement.
