Air Filter Box Boots

[Guest]

Hi everyone. I'm doing my first restoration project on a donated 1982 GS650L. I finally got things running after 3 attempts at cleaning the carbs and replacing the o-rings on the intake boots.

I was cleaning the air filter box to put it back on, but noticed that the rubber boots look absolutely awful. I'm concerned that particles will flake off and directly go into the carbs / engine since this is past the air filter. Is this normal? Can I change these rubber boots or do I need a whole new filter box?

Welcome to GSR.

In your picture you can see the bronze looking spring things. Need to find a way to grab those and get them out. Maybe grab the egde with small plyers.

Also check the clamps to see if should order a set of those too.

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

cowboyup- that website is great. Much appreciated.

Redman - I got everything disassembled and definitely need to order the tubes. The clamps and rings still seem to be functional condition.

While I am waiting for the parts to arrive, is there anything I should check that could cause this? It looks like there was a fire in the box.
