Send Robert a PM, he's a member here. Dealer? If you want to pay out the ass, yes.

cycleorings.com is his website. You can get the boots from a local dealer, but they're probably cheaper online. I use PartsOutlaw.

I just bought OEM Suzuki boots online delivered to my house that were about 14 bucks apiece. The local Suzuki dealer had them for about 15 apiece. The dealer was having computer Problems and that's why I opted online otherwise I just would've swung by their place.

You must be referring to the boots on the other side of the carbs that go to the airbox. The ones that mount between the carbs and motor are usually around $35 apiece.

Mine were for an 1100 and to be honest I figured your bike would have similar pricing for the boots. That's quite a disparity between $! Yow!

Stay with the stock 115's unless you run pod filters. I've tried the 117.5's. Run's better with stock. Just clean your carbs!

Popping on decel indicates an exhaust leak. I raised the needles in mine as it tended to surge a tiny bit at highway cruising speeds. Runs like a top, always. Plugs are perfect.

i dont understand how a dirty carb is making me run lean. i will clean them, but it doesnt make sense, can you help me to understand?

[tkent02]

Fuel passage somewhere just a little bit blocked, fuel screen blocked, maybe one of the transition ports is blocked, who knows? Maybe it's all perfect except the float level is wrong.

[jsandidge]

+1 on what tkent02 said. Even a small blockage or constriction can prevent enough fuel to flow, hence you will be lean. Same thing with the fuel level from the floats. If they aren't adjusted to a high enough level, you will be lean.
