    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

750 two valve airbox question.....

Anyone has a 750 airbox and carbs laying around? Maybe you could check something for me. I just noticed the small rubber horns that attach the box to the carbs seem too small, they are 1/4" or so smaller inside diameter than the inside of the carbs. They are also too small to fit the holes in the airbox correctly. There is actually a cresent-shaped leak around the top of the rubber, about 1/16 inch wide.
I'm thinking maybe a P.O. used parts off a 550 or something?
If anyone has this laying around can you check if yours fits the same way?
Thanks,
Tom
 
They are a really tight fit and the rubber does shrink over time.
 
The airbox/carb boots do shrink over time and look much smaller.

New ones are, what, $7 each or so? It's time to order up a set.

Yours have expired. Left this mortal coil. Joined the choir. Are deceased. Demised. Kicked the bucket...
 
I agree. I have just fitted new intake boots and airbox rubbers to my 850. The airbox is the same as the 750. The increase in flexability and sealing at the airbox compared to the old rubber was incredible. It's now much easier to re-fit the carbs and airbox back onto the motor.
