My intake rubbers are cracked and were when I bought them. They had electrical tape covering the cracks and I never took it off and have covered some 20,000miles with them like this. However, the other day I decided to sort them out, so I removed the tape and when ridden it behaved very similar to the way you decribe, once you reach about 4,000rpm it become very sluggish and when you open the throttle in bogs down and sometimes dies. I have now replaced the tape and I'm looking for some replacement rubbers (£90 new). Looks like a bit of a job to change them though, I need to see how many bits and pieces I need to remove and how much I can moved the carb back in order to remove the rubbers.
