Do I have Intake Boot o-rings

[denydog]

Having recently put my carb's back on, and reading all the advice to renew the intake boot o-rings, I was concerned mine were bad. But looking at it, I don't think this 1982 GS1100E uses them. Am I correct?

[bwringer]

You are correct!

Those boots can get hardened and cracked, especially the two on the inside that get hotter than the outside two, but they do not use o-rings.

Note to self

Note to Self:
next time buy a suzuki that doesn't have intake o rings - What a sweet thing that would be :-D

Everything is hard when you are new to these bikes and motorcycle mechanics in general. It might be easy for you, but it takes me a better portion of a day to take the tank, airbox, carbs, boots, fix the o rings and put it back together.

Amen brother. I felt that way too when I first started. Shoot some thing still take me way longer than they should, but you'll get better Isn't that the point?

I got rid of the stock airbox after the first time I tried to put it back on :-D That's a massive pain in the rear
