hi, got the bike out of storage for the first time this year today and found some cracking in what i think are the carburetor manifolds. i've tried to put i link to a photograph of them below but if that doesn't work i'll try and give a description. between the carburetors and the back of the engine there are four horizontal pipes about an inch or so long, they're rubberised and have a slight kink built into the design. what i want to know is if anybody has any experience of these. is it a protective layer cracking or is it more serious? do they need replacing asap and if so is it a big job? and could it be a sign of some other problems with the fueling perhaps? sorry for not being more technical but i'm still learning bikes and still have limited experience. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1...db75b8b2ad
