    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.

Airbox to carbs problem....

I notice that the 4 rubber connections between the airbox and the carbs is just barely, barely making contact and I think it's leaking almost for sure. I'm stumped because the airbox appears to be positioned correctly and is bolted in place just as it's supposed to be. Also, the carb connection at the front looks just right, too. Any ideas??? Thanks!!:)
 
Remove the bolts where the airbox attaches to the frame and push the airbox forward as far as it will go. This will push the airbox boots further onto the carbs. You can also take a large screwdriver and sort of pry the boots forward and onto the carbs. Tighten up the band clamps and then push the airbox backward and reattach the screws. Worked on my 550's. :)
 
Thank you!!

I followed your instructions to the "tee"; and it worked quite well. Thank you very much for your advice!!\\:D/
 
I have a 1982 1100 GL and there are no rubber lines from the carbs to the airbox. I'll have to look at the bike today and see where they "should" be routed to the airbox.
