    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.

Air Box boot replace

Hey i'm trying to replace a boot on the airbox side. how do you get the inside band out without trashing it,or do you always need a new one?This is on my 83 gs 1100 e. Thanks for any help
 
I'm not sure if it is the same type of ring that my 1000 has. If it is, the ring has a break in it. I simply used a thin flat head to pry it up at the break and grabbed it with a pair of needle nose pliers.

I reused the same ones and they work fine.
 
Replaced mine not too long ago, those rings bend pretty easily, no break in the ring, prying only bent them, but I had new rings and boots so no biggie. Those boots were as hard as nails, and unlike the GS1000 relatively inexpensive, so it was a no brainer.

Boot, part no. 13881-49021 (revised part number) $8.50,
Ring, part no. 13885-47030, $3.95

Got them through Boulevard Suzuki
