O.H!

555 is overrated i live in Zanesville at the start and ride motorcycle don't listen to the hype serious

I am having the same buzz but with Metzler ME888, but when I lean either direction the buzz and vibration goes away. Bearing feel good.

Friendly advice. Hand thread all bolts on the wheel at once. Then tighten, hopefully not experiencing the washer being misaligned.

My compensator seems loose after I put it at spec is that normal , when I day loose it just seems to slide on the splines ?

Perfect!…the way I like to see and understand! Q: No need for lock-tight on any of the bolts?

Great video it explains allot I'm hoping that my bike has the same set up good job keep it up

I drove 555 from Athens to Zanesville a few years ago. I didn't like it due to the blind crests. Too many & too big for me.

Sr 26, 145,148 are all better and longer rides. Nothing in Ohio compares to the Dragon. I have ridden all over s.e. Ohio and 555 is fun but others are equal or better.

Today December 2023 do you recomend bro? I’ve 2019 Ultralimited

Compensators are junk even the screamin eagle one. Install a Man O War black horse compensator it’s far superior than harley junk. And it’s early serviceable on the bike.

An excellant word of warning of St RT 555. I live about thirty miles from the South end of 555 and it is NOT my favorite road to ride. There are so many other, prettier roads to ride in SE Ohio. St. Rt. 124 from Pomeoy to Hocking port is one of my favorutes. There are places where there is a rock wall on one side of the road and the Ohio River just a few feet from the other side. A little father North you find Nelsonville in Athens county. I like to ride RT 78 from Nelsonville to McConnesville. There is a view on Rt 78 just before you get to 555 that is breath taking. And there are many other side roads that take you to such places like New Straightsville and Shawnee. Rt 13 is a nice ride from Athens to South Zanesville, not very challenging, but a nice ride. Even farther north in Hocking cointy where you find the Hocking Hills Region. Here another favorite is RT 374, I love every inch of it, but from there you can find Thompson Ridge which takes you to Laurelville. On the ridge there are some views that remind you of the Blueridge Parkway, but not near as high. There is also Big Pine road which runs down in the valley from just east of Laurelville and almost back to Logan. IN the same area is Rt 664 which is nice and Rt 56 from Athens to Circleville can be challenging, but I'm OLD now and ride a lot slower, so to me it is just a pretty road to ride. I hope you explore some of these roads and maybe make videos of them, share the beauty. Ride safe and enjoy every journey.

Nice setup, similar to mine (I have just more cooking item's) Stay always safe😉

So, which "side" is better? The left, or the right? 🤔

Thanks brother great video

Great advice no bull shit

Replace that f-ing chain tensioner ! You'll thank me later !!!!

Excellent video! NO one speaks about the "what ifs" and what is really going on, they just video about how great of a ride it is, and I am sure it is, but nice to know some cautions from a rider's point of view. Thank you for sharing

The compensator should be disassembled to inspect it....

Thank you for video. Was your vibration when you applied brake or without braking? I’ve had brake vibration on 2020 road glide limited between 65 and 75 mph. Dealer replaced rotors, pads, and hardware on front wheel and all was good. Also replaced both tires due to wear. 4000 miles later, same vibration is back. Taking back to dealer shortly. Just wondering if problem is similar to yours. Thank you.

Both my clips came out and if it wasn't for my light wires I would have lost my bag, unfortunately it damaged the lid only

I had the commander 2's on 2015 Limited low tour. Yes tour tires. Place on correctly. When I would turn any direction, I would feel this vibration! Bearings good ect. So lived with it. Now I just got the commander 3s.. but there is one thing different of this front tire how its mounted rotation wise! If you look at tire rotation of the 2s to the 3s front tire. You will notice that the tread design is not the same as old 2s. 2s looked like to shed water as the 3s does not. V of the tread points forward on the 2s to shed water. Yet the Front tire on the commander 3, looks as to bunch water up dead center. Now, old 2s i had on, every turn I felt this vibration in every turn, even in the slightest lean. But now on the 3s on dry road, Smooth no vibration. Yet, I am still confused as to how this front Commander 3 tire is to shed water when it looks as to collect water at center! But no vibration at all. Very smooth.

Are the rotors supposed to have some play?

I'm hearing a noise in primary I hear it when in gear also in nuetral when back tire rolling and I even shut engine off to hear better and it was still there? Any ideas like a whine slight click noise

How do you replace the stator with these style primary?

Since you had the cover off already you should have changed the compensater ( non HD). Also the tensioner to a Hayden way better than HD. Take Care

If you're going to post a how to video on TH-cam, at least have the decency to do your video in landscape instead of portrait format. Otherwise, you don't maintain much credibility for intelligence.

Michelin has agreed to replace a noisy 14 21 date code with a 28 22 date code. The sipes were changed in 13 22. Got to hand it to Michelin for the response.

Hi I have the same problem date code the same , I have 5k mikes on mine my bike shop doesn’t want to help me with warranty

Wonderful I have date code 14 21...feels and sounds like running down a road snake

Nice setup. The one thing I don't see are the soft lowers for your crashbar. Installed in only two minutes for a ride thru the rain or really cold weather!

If you add up what you spend on camping gear..a couple of nights in a Motel is all you get..best money you can spend is on Camping gear..I have stuff I purchased 20 years ago ,still using it😄

Bear Lockers..Thats where I would spend the night..inside the bear locker!

Change compensator, replace auto tension with manual one

I'm having the same issues on brand new michelin scorcher 11s on my 2021 Fat Boy.

Really worthwhile video ... I get SO tired of video content that offers very little substance but endless blabbering. I agree with 95% of your points. Appreciate the effort to put this out there.

The Vibration issue is because of your tires. Michelin Commander 3 are junk they cause the vibration...

Do you have aftermarket cams? I put in some Woods 222 cams in my 17 Street Bob and now have a knocking noise coming the compensator. I was told I need to put in an aftermarket Compensator because of increased torque, etc. This motor is equipped with a more heavy duty Comp. Also told you should be able to tune out this noise. What is correct???

Obviously late, sorruly I'm being negative but I hope you now know how wireless charging works and realise that for the price you paid its about 50 percent less efficient that a regular wore which is around 90% so it takes a battery double the size of your phone battery to charge it. Don't talk crap about a product when you clearly have no idea how it works. Thats like saying "bought this leaf blower to help brush up in the house, all it did was spread the mess everywhere!" Sounds daft.

I like to know before and after sound of the primary

Interesting… I have the older Commander 2’s and after this video I think it’s tires cuz I’ve checked every last bolt on my bike but I get a bad vibration BUT during engine braking. I don’t notice vibration while on gas but once I let go it’ll start to build vibration. I’ve also rebalanced my tires and still an issue. Granted I have a built Dyna and they shake n vibrate a lot as it is but this has just been weird and I just so happen to have Commanders on it!!!

Button that bad boy up and ride that thing. If you hear any noise other than then engine you are riding it right!

Nice video. You are the man, great replacement of parts.✌🏿

If you thinnk it's 'chain slap', rev it out in 1st and 2nd, if it can ratchet it will.

You should replace the tensioner, with the later models, no spacers and better material on the shoe..

Great video, I used to use the large micro fibre cloths on my glasses but they scratched the shit out of them, only use the small micro cloths from optometrists for my glasses now and all is good. Stay safe and ride on

Been pulling my hair out trying to find source of hidden kazoo sound at 59 - 62 MPH. After new bearings, riding with the calipers hanging from crash bar (ultra safe) rebuilding forks and completely dismantling the fairing, I started finding posts about the C3's. I have only 5K miles on mine and have verified they are the source of noise by standing on one floorboard which pulls tire off center tread. My date code is from 2019 so I doubt Michelin would give me any cred. But for the sake of saying I tried, could someone hook me up with a contact @ Michelin? Bike is 2018 RG and I put the C3's on after Sturgis of 19. Only ridden like 5K miles since then due to sickness in family. Any help much appreciated.

Thanks brother, having same issue with 240 Commander 2 Jesus bless you

Horrible tire....

My brake caliper on the bolt side will not fit into position, not enough room to get it in the bolt on position... any ideas about how to make that work?
