intake hoses

Hello folks, quick question. Is there any way too soften up the air inlets between the carbs and the air-box.
Still trying too get my carbs installed on a 1977 KZ650B1.
Cant afford new ones right now, but want too see if the beast will run. Thanx for your time and patience ... PEACE

Hair drier sometimes helps.

Good Luck!

Others have used a hair dryer or boiling water. Maybe a heat gun.
Z1Enterprises.com may have them for your bike for around $40 a set.

i have soaked my airbox hoses in a product called 704 i think it works great just like new

704? 704 what? gee whiz.

oh shit im a dum ass its not 704 im very very sorry
ok strait from the lable i am looking at it rite now
303 aerospace protectant
it is a cleaner but a side effect of using it on rubber is that it soffins it up but it must be in a warm place over night

Wintergreen oil!

At least that's what the Honda boys say!

Google "Wintergreen Oil Rubber" if the link above doesn't work.

They also reference peanut oil.

So your bike will either smell like a piece of gum or a PB sandwich! :lol:

Your choice.

Hope this helps!
