+ 3, time for new intake boots. There is a slight angle going in that does make it easier. Other than that as long as you feed it in working around the harness wires it is an easy install. Be careful with the snorkel, you can knock it out of position if you try to force it.

Well I don't own a hair dryer, no needOriginally posted by Buffalo Bill View Post
Couple weeks ago, I R & R'd my first set of carbs on my airboxed GS700. Pretty tough to remove. I did grease the inner lips of the boots before reinstalling the new set, just seemed like common sense. By the way, Super Lube, 100% synthetic is pricey, but fantastic stuff. And it's clear.
Now to figure out why it still runs like a piece of ****

Just one of those things
I just shove that buggerd into possition (carbs) squishing the boots on the air box side then push cabs into boots on head. Then play with the more plyable air box side to get them onto the carbs. I concur with cussing
and possibly stopping at some point to get another beer .

Shaft drive 850cc+ airboxes are soooo easy, it takes longer to install pods. The airbox goes in and out from the right side of the bike.
If you want to compare install times for an airbox with bad boots, then the 4 pods need to have bad boots too
Any other GS airbox, .................
takes practice (and good boots)Comment

Take the airbox mount bolts out. That allows the box to move back about 3/8". use a silicon spray on rock hard boots, heat with a hair dryer,respray then start pushing and shoving. It helps to have a hooked tool like a cotter key remover to help the rubber lip over the carb bell. Start on one side and work your way across. Patience is the key.Comment
