Can anyone aim me to a source for a new intake boot? I just need one and keep striking out searching. Nothing on ebay right now.

You can just go to your local suzuki dealer and order one.Its will be about 25 bucks but you wont have to pay the shipping cost.Also I would replace those phillips screws with 6mm allens and torc to 6 to 8 ft. lbs.Were you born in 59 ! just a guess.Burke1959 said:

Yah, 1959. Not very clever I reckon. Thanks for the advice about parts.

Went for my first ride on my '82 650GL (that had been sitting for 13 years when I bought it last month) and gave it a good shakedown cruise after buying parts/replacing parts/rebuilding parts/cleaning parts/tuning parts for the last month or so. First tank I ran through it on July 4th turned out 60.5mpg in 95 degree heat (yeah, I got baked pretty well that day--worth it, though). That was basically noodling around town and some back roads, rarely getting over 55mph, rarely sitting in any traffic. Started riding it to Nashville for my 35 mile commute on the I-24 International Raceway today...so I have yet to see what it'll turn out with having to run 75-80 to keep up w/ traffic.
As a side note...I have GOT to come up w/ a set of compromise bars somewhere between the factory pull-back bars (I hate those) and the nearly flat drag-bar that mine has on it...makes my neck feel like I've been riding a crotch rocket.

I'm currently soaking the screws to my intake boots with PB B'laster. Smacked the screws with an impact phillips head(not attached to the driver) Soaked with WD 40;tried to unscrew AND IT STARTED TO STRIP!!! Researched threads and Jimccor advised the PB. If anyone knows a good chant to the druids of mechanical luck,let me know. I'll soak 'em some more after dinner and tommorow magically they'll come out. I've got their replacements ready to go. Wish me luck!!

If you have a dremel you can cut a little off for the vixe grips to take hold.If you can get one loose you can move the boot and free the other one up.
