Cody does anything need to be changed for the beefy idler?
Not that i know of. I haven’t had to replace my idler as of yet
Nothing needs to be changed or modified, I replaced the one on my mini with the beefy replacement and it worked great.
You need the new latch designed to be used with the new beefy idler. I don’t think the original latch was desingned/intended to be used with the new one.
Here’s the link to the beefy idler latch (attached as well):

FWIW you can use the old latch with the new idler, albeit it’s not a perfect fit. I’ve been running this way since at least the summer without issue. You are correct though that it was intended to be used with the new latch ![]()
Didn’t even think to try but good to know. One thing I liked about the old setup was using the idler latch tension jig to make sure I had the spring tension always set correctly. Seem to be OK with the new one. Thanks
