picked up my new cam slider today w/ new compensator bolt. bolt has blue loctite. parts guy says they come thru w/ red, yellow, and blue. come home and try the part fit w/ old shaft extention. i notice red fretting on the area where the sprocket itself rides on the shaft extention. further examination shows metal erosion on the face of the sprocket and on the shaft extention face in 4 or 5 areas like a pitting or galling. i am familiar w/ this as i've galled up enuff s/s bolts to know what this is. this is strange b/c the whole compensator was covered in formula+ when i removed it. when my new shaft extention gets in, i will groove the back side for oil and clean up the sprocket at the galled areas. will put in about 6 small grooves about .010 deep. 7k on this bike!:nosad
