    XD i think my chances of finding my bike in any wreckers would be a mish in itself, plus fark all bike wreckers up here, they're all down towards slacks creek. Are the FZR ones identical to the FZX's?

    Towards the end of the video wherever you sprayed the cleaner there was a noticeable rise in revs.

    Thats what i thought as well. So the second boot must be rooted the rest have outside cracks but as you could hear didn't seem to suck anything in. Next question is do i just replace the one or am i better off just replacing all four and be done with it?

    Depends what price you find them for I would guess. Also check the ring clamp to make sure it's not bent when closed.

    I would replace all 4 of them with new. Using second hand from wreckers may be as bad as what you have in a couple of months time.

    it's a shame each boot has a seperate part # who couldn't it just be a set with one part # XD

    But yeah if you have the time to grab me a quote that'd be awesome.

    Part #'s are

    Boots
    1HX-13586-00
    1HX-13596-00
    3YX-13586-00

    Too funny! I think you could get them from Hirochi for less than half that.

    Mr Grey did you see my post about your wheel bearings?

    My next move would be
    as Ken suggested , silicone up all the boots
    and as Blair suggested , put all the stock airbox back on with no filter
    take it for a run.
