Intake boots

[Guest]

I have a very early 77GS750. The intake boots do not apear to use O rings. They are original but made different. Anyone run into this before ??

in this case however it seems to be your enemy - it shows the o rings from as early as model "b"

Interesting problem.:shock: I've heard of this on 400's but didn't know 750's were effected as well.

Sorry but no suggestion other than upgrading the boots to the O-ring type.

Stretching my memory and I might be getting confused with another model but I seem to recall the early ones coming out with a sold, hardish rubber block intake tube, all in one piece, not the rubber stuck on to the metal as is normal. They had used that design on some of the 2-strokes for sure - you just cleaned them up and bolted them on, no gasket / sealant as there was enough flex in the thing to make the seal. Probably gone a bit brittle by now, though they were quite hard when new, not a normal rubber.

I don't know how early my 77 GS750 is but it has boots like you describe. They are hard as bricks so I ordered replacements.

The PO must have had problems with them leaking because they had some of that grey RTV gasket goop on them.

Not sure if the replacements need rings or not but am ready for them either way.

I already replaced them with a spare set I had purchased for my 850. It was just unusal
