Intake rubbers brass tube angle

[NJH_95]

Hello,


A new FZS1000 owner from Finland here. When I bought the bike I noticed that the inlet rubbers needed replacing. I bought an unused set from from an online market place from a private seller and upon installation I noticed that the brass tubes are angled wrong towards the valve cover.

Has anyone had this problem and is there a way to maybe try to fix the angle of the brass tube? There might be a risk of an intake leak but maybe somehow?

Thanks in advance-NJH

You've bought aftermarket copies, they're made incorrect ... personally I'd try & find a decent genuine set from an Ebay bike breaker, loads for sale, some at silly prices, just bide ya time & keep looking.

The inlet rubbers are known to start looking cracked over time but this is usually superficial and doesn't impact on performance. Are you certain they need replacing?

Yeah, I´ll keep on searching for OEM set for a decent price. The cracks are deep but they haven´t gone through yet.

Thanks for the replies!

I have a set for sale on ebay atm, happy to sell them on here and cut ebay out etc.
