    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...

Stock Air Box Problems

I want to use my stock air-box for my GS750L (1981) but the collars, which connect to the carbs, have become stiff and I can't get them to go on the carbs. And man this is a tight enough fit as it is. Is there any secrets/tips to getting the air-box connected back to the carbs (for installation)? And is there any trick to "softening" the air-box collars so that they fit on the carbs?

Much Thanks from the Mountains: dtkid
 
Best thing you can do is order new ones. Part # 13881-49021. They cost ~ $10.00 each. Not only wil the air box install be easier, but they will eliminate any air leaks between the airbox & the carbs.

I reckon I can order them from any Suzuki dealer?

Thanks a bunch ya'll. I soaked the collars in "thinner" and let them bake in the hot sun for two days. They softened up and went right on!

I love this forum.
