    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.

Are you referring to bikebandit.com? If so I don't see a search feature other than a part# search
 
once you get to your bike and theres a list of all the parts for it. theres a search in the middle of the page.
 
I have a 1979 gs1000l. Nothing comes up on intake boots and they're not on the three choices for intake either. I checked the carb fiche, but they're not there either.](*,)
 
So those go from the carb to the head right? Damn $25 a piece and I need 4 of them. Any place cheaper?
 
Unless you want used ones, than ebay and the for sale section on here. If you spend the $100 now, you probably wont have to replace them for another 20 years.

Also, the 77-79 gs750,850,1000 use the same intake boot. Just incase, it will help your search on ebay.

I don't think mine leak now. How do you tell? Spray WD-40 around the boot while the bike's running and listen for an audible change? Will it rev up or down?


You're probably wondering why I'm looking for them if mine aren't leaking. I have carb issues and since my carbs are virginal I doubt they've ever been removed. And I forsee them leaking once I reinstall the carbs. I like to gather all possible parts in advance.

On a side note if I do have 1 leaking and 3 good still replace all 4?

edit: thanks for all the help
 
Instead of replacing all the intake boots. Start off by replacing the 4 o rings that go in between the boots and the head. Those tend do harden and wear out before the boots themselves.
