Some time ago I posted a thread in the KV
about front iso replacement last weekend 1313 examined the front iso on my sled, being an Engineer and with his back ground it was a good thing, its terminal. at 18 months and about 12k miles.

less than half what the original lasted.

Seems to me there is an over stress condition due to other mounts being too tight, or rear isolators worn out....

I estimate that my second one just failed at 6K. It hadn't broken but was torn underneath.Is there a standard life expectancy for this part or does it vary dramatically with the type of riding?

Lafayette please review the linked stuff and please tender your suggestion any thing is possible.

the short version of the last assembley

with the motor supported
I removed the old part

I positioned the new part in the frame.

loosley attached all 3 bolts
tightened the outer 2 and then the center one with the motor lifted to contact the mount.

Put everything together finger tight, then remove the support from under the front of the engine ...

Then torque and tighten everything ...
