    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. 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.

am i nutz or the fich is wrong for airbox clamps/ 81 GS550T

When I look up for the82 model years.. it does show the CLAMP properly but still with a ring? I don't understand what this "ring" is..but the 82 looks exactly what I need.. same style. The older ones are very much different. I guess I found a typo but wonder WTH that ring is?? I never remember one from all the bikes I've had apart????
 
The ring is used inside the intake boot to lock it into the air box. Not sure if your 550 had them but my 850 and 1000's have them.
 
The 550 does have the metal ring inside the airbox boots but I've run without them and did not have any issues.

And yes, the airbox fiche for our bike is wrong on everything. The part number you need for the actual clamps is 09402-60208 which is part #12 on the fiche
 
Thanks guys for the good info. Parts found and ordered!!!!!
 
I see now what they do and they are only in the outer boots..1 & 4.. Mine are in place. Thanks!!
