    Manifold O-rings

    Do not all our bikes have them? I have pulled the carb boots off and found no o-rings there. Also Bike Bandit doesn;t show them on any schematic. I hear it suggested that they get changed quite often, but I can't seem to find any! Maybe I am confused- we aren't talking about exhaust manifold gaskets, are we?

    I ride, therefore I am.... constantly buying new tires.

        What those guys said!
        If you have them, they would be easy to see. They fit in a circular groove and seal the space between the head and manifold.
        And on the seventh day,after resting from all that he had done,God went for a ride on his GS!
        Upon seeing that it was good, he went out again on his ZX14! But just a little bit faster!
