    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.

Induction Guru. I am in need of your wise guidance!

Notice the o-ring. Have these things ever been known to leak from here?

I dont think these parts are off a GS motor. I could be wrong (I have been before, once I think). These boots could have been adapted from another brand cycle. Order the correct original parts from Suzuki. Are these the boots between the CV carbs and the cylinder head.

Well they were a b!tch to take off. But they're made by Suzuki and they fit exceptionally well on the intake flanges

How are they incomplete? BTW bikebandit doesn't have them there. I've checked the fiches. They go after the carb and onto the motor

You just pulled the actual rubber pieces off the intake boots.

You need to replace the whole boot, not just the rubber part. And there is an oring, but it is between the head and the metal part of the boot.
 
thanx brveagle, I was in a hurry this morning when I posted. Didn't realize the link went to the first page of parts.

Iron, what he is saying is correct. You pulled the rubber off of the flanges, this isn't how you replace them, as brveagle said, it is replaced as a whole. If you want I may have a set off of one of the 550 engines I've torn appart that I could send your way. I bought new from BikeBandit for my restore job, but if you are on a budget, my old ones may work for you. PM me with an offer..

Oh ok well that makes sense now. Kinda dumb that you'd have to replace the metal flange also but "cie la vi". Thanks guys for the help. I'll get this thing going before I decide to start changing those boots out. BigRed if I need them i'll shoot a PM your way

eh... i dunno bout the 550, but that metal flange should have come off WITH the boots, least how my 750 is. and the rings go IN the metal flange in a channel...they may have changed that design cos i know on that 80 750 motor i have it has a whole different looking set up
 
Well the flange has a channel that the oring from the boot sits in. I don't understand why you'd have to replace both if they both come apart separate but oh well Japanese auto companies do wierd things
 
you may not have to. Keep in mind i dunno how its set up, but those flanges they showed your are like mine, and they changed those after 79 on the 750 so i dunno bout your bike.
