Air Filters and carb boots

[solorider]

Also having watched my carb rubbers deteriorate the past 3 years just checked depth of one of the cracks @ 3.67mm which was a bit scary, still a couple of mm left but not worth the effort of porting .

Just trying to say that the crazing/cracking of boots is not something to get paranoid about but dont ignore it for too long.

my intake rubbers are cracked to hell and my bike has a low speed splutter so i managed to get a set on ebay in a lot better condition than the ones on my bike,but my bike has 70k miles on it
