What are the symptoms of a torn front isolator? Bikes got 27k on it and it doesn’t handle anything like my old S2. I’ve adjusted compression/damping with no avail. Front end feels very loose when in medium speed turns. I’m thinking it may be a torn front iso? Thanks Guys

You will feel a lot of vibration in the handle bars and foot pegs. You can also visually see a bad front isolator. Bad rears will cause vibration too, but the rear end will feel unstable in turns also.

Change fork oil and check head set bearing. Re-spring the bike if you are over 175 lbs.
