    Lots of different models and years have different part numbers.

      With out knowing what make model and year your bike is, it is impossible to help you.
      - 1983 GS850L ~ 30,000 miles and going up - Finally ready for a proper road trip!
      - 1977 GS750B - Sold but not forgotten

        As previously posted, need model, make, and sub model, if any, of your motorcycle. All the info you have. What you need are the intake manifolds for your bike. Very specific part. Bikes come in 1,2,3,4 and 6 cylinders. So post some info if you want help, then we can help you.

          I can't find any mention of what year your GS1000 is.
          Whatever, have a look on www.cruzinimage.net for carb boots.
          The quality of parts from them is usually good, unless you really want to pay through the nose for OEM ones, if they're still available.

                Did you spray some ether, or starting fluid into the intakes from the outside of each intake to make sure they were sucking air and causing this condition?

                  You can seal these sometimes by painting them with layers of "Flex-Seal". That stuff dries into rubber and will seal. Kind of a last resort, but check with some ether to see if the rpm's rise, so that you know this is a problem. I always use the little red rube that sticks into the nozzle so you can pinpoint your blast of ether.

                      Not sure which variant of the GS1000 you have, but Partzilla still has OEM parts for $35 each, at least for the N. I've pulled the trigger on new rubber the last few projects and it makes carb mounting sooooooooooooo much easier. I don't even think about pulling out the ratchet straps.
