[sahtlinurk]

HI!

with what I can fix that rubber thing back? I used loctite blue gasket silicone but it seems not suit there. too weak. is there any stronger stuff on the market?
I add a picture of that intake manifold as well.

Trying to repair rotten rubber is a waste of time. Suzuki still sells the replacement parts you need. Here's the part numbers for a 2 valve 1000/1100
13110-49100 (buy 2)
13120-49100 (buy 2)
09280-40010 (buy 4)

the only way to fix bad intake manifolds is to replace them and their base O-rings as humhead has already said. those numbers are for the bigger ones, from that pic is your bike a 550?

you can get them here or get the correct Suzuki numbers to get them from your local Suzuki bike dealer.

I've got some good used manifolds for a 80-82 550 if anyone is interested. The only thing that can be done is replace the old parts - glue does not last.

It is GS 650 GT

The leaky mainfolds are likely the cause of the bad running issue you posted before.

Put the new mainfolds and O rings on without any sealer, synch your carbs and let us know how it runs.

http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/revie...GlueReview.htm i use the stuff on all kinds of intake boots from atv to motorcycles i found it at autozone for 5 i think i wouldnt use for anything to extensive it would probley be better just to get a new one but that stuff will hold up for awhile

sealing intakes

Shoe goo works awesome for sealing those intake boots. Just a thin coating. When it dries it is still somewhat pliable. It worked for me.

Hmm... Shoe Goo is gas resistant? Nice. I'm always using that stuff.

Becareful getting the intake retaining screws out to replace the inlet rubbers. Its unlikely that anybody has had them out since the bike was built. Don't want to be replying to a broken screw post in a few days......
