Did my front isolator today.

Took me forever to actually find one, but one finally popped up on eBay. Took me about a total of 20 minutes. Couldn't believe how easy it was. I don't have a jack, so I used a crank strap. I wouldn't recommend this method for anyone else because the air box cover was creaking. The old one was definitely shot.

You're lucky you didn't break your airbox cover.

I wonder if you took your air cover off if it would be better. Clever workaround.

I did not expect that plastic covers are so strong.

How many miles on your bike? how did you notice it was in need of replacing?

[C2H5OH]

I cranked it pretty hard. When I was putting the new one on I had to loosen it up because the engine was too high to line up the bolts. I would do it again if I had too knowing that it doesn't take too much tension to hold the tension.

Almost 40K. Every time I hit a bump it felt like something was loose. The tensioner was slamming in to the bolt head.

10/4. I assumed it would be a pretty noticeable issue thanks for the reply! Nice use of the beer box by the way
