Intake rubbers brass tube angle - NJH_95 - 24-07-22
Hello,
A new FZS1000 owner from Finland here.
[size=1em]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. [/size]https://imgur.com/a/RNleCYu

[size=1em]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?[/size]
[size=1em]Thanks in advance[/size][size=1em]-NJH [/size]

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?
Re: Intake rubbers brass tube angle - NJH_95 - 28-07-22
Yeah, I´ll keep on searching for OEM set for a decent price. The cracks are deep but they haven´t gone through yet.
