Uh oh..... I hope the bike has not been ridden WO with that cracked intake boot.... anyways good eye...
kwakman:
is the crack flowing air or just on the surface? 86 air boots are like rocking horse sh&t, although someone said they can be repaired with a liquid rubber type approach.I would check the woodruff key asap, as they will backfire when this is busted.using fine grinding paste to lap the f wheel to crank taper makes this a thing of the past.take care to keep it away from crankseals and clean excess off after doing it.K.
RoostDaddy:
When I cant get my 5 to start, I just get CBX to kick it (in his Flip-Flops). Fires every time, huh DoldGuy. :-D

tcoop474:
I have no idea how long the intake boot has been in this condition but I'm sure its not like a just happens thing. And I have been pulling it off this is the first I've had a kick lever so Idk if this is a new problem or not.
