Need the carb to engine boots on 82' gs450

[Anonymous]

My bike starts racing at 3000 revs when it gets hot (when in neutral or when the clutch is in). I think it might be the rubber boots between the carbs and the engine. Where can I find new ones to replace the old boots?

It's a 1982 gs450txz

Bike Bandit has them - #26 in the diagram - $25. You can also probably get them from your dealer.

The ones from my local dealer for a gs 850 are 25 bucks a piece. an independent shop should be able to get the K&L brand for a few bucks less.

I lean towards OEM parts when the price difference is so minimal though.

I agree.. go with the OEM parts.. if you do a search on this forum you will find other ideas and info about this process. ie. heat resistant rubber for boots and orings, whether or not to use grease on the orings etc...

this is a pretty simple job and I am sure you'll get her up and running in no time

good luck
