Carb to Head Rubbers - bigsteve - 12-08-12
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
CHEERS

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

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

ok...sounds as if you need new ones.....i will see if i can find out where i bought mine and how much they were....pretty sure somewhere near £75...will let you know

had a rummage in the shed tonight and found the rubbers
the cracks have closed up now they are not on the bike and you cant see them in the pictures :\ i bought them from WWW.MAD4BIKES.CO.UK and paid £78.98 inc p+p.....hope this helps
