    Airbox Rubbers

    After posted a Parts Wanted ad, it dawned on me to ask...Are there different size rubbers available or have mine simply "shrunk"? They have the EXACT same outside diameter as the carbs. Poor eBay research? or right part, just old and shrunken?

    I replaced mine last month, three of the old ones had shrunk quite a bit and were loose in the airbox. All of them were dried out and hard. I was able to order new ones through the local Suzuki dealership for about $15 each.

      I am not sure about size difference, I would imagine that they would be different. However, I just went through my carbs and my rubbers from the airbox to the carbs were hard as a rock. I used a hair dryer and heated them up and that softned them up very nicely for installing them back again. I really should get new ones but I have bigger fish to fry right now. I personally would try that before blowing $60+ at the dealer.

        I got new rubbers and they went on nice. However, I need new clamps. You know the ones I'm talking about...Like a hose clamp, only thinner...small screw to tighten... Anynody got any to sell. Large Mikuni.

          They harden as they age, but don't shrink that much.

              depends on your carb size
