Post by: bigsteve on 12 August 2012, 04:52:08 pm
Hi
  I imagine this subject has been on here before but i will ask it any way  :)
  My good ladies FZS 600 needs Carb to Head Rubbers replacing ( 51 Plate 9500 Miles )
 
  Are there any pros's or con's between after market and genuine Yamaha rubbers other than price  :eek  ???????
 
 Any advice will be greatfully received

replaced mine a while back now.the pattern parts i bought were as good as origanal,side by side it was hard to tell them apart,these rubbers are very thick,mine were cracked badly and were like it for years before i finally got round to changing them,but once off the bike i could see the cracks were not all the way through....by a long way...if you have the same problem and the cracks are not that bad i would`nt bover changing them.
 i think i still have the old ones in the garage,i see if i can find them tommorow and post a piccy  ;) [size=78%] [/size]

The new ones will likely crack as well, had you not wrote that there's bubbles coming out then i would say leave them but since you know there's a breach then fair enough, just don't panic when the new ones start looking like they've had someone attack them with a sharp hatchet
