HOW DO I GET THESE AIR BOOTS ON MY CSR!!!!!!??????

1980 CSR 1000

Cleaned the carbs bike runs descent but I just can't get everything back together. Tried going in from the airbox, tried sliding them in from outside, tried dynamite, tried a case of beer, nothing is working. I really don't want to use pods but they're looking pretty good right now.

Am I going to have to drop the motor and get the whole motor, carbs and airbox together and then put it back in place??
Say it ain't so!

Order some new boots from Z1 if yours are old and getting stiff.
Treat them like tire,use a screw driver or small rod bent in an L on the end and walk them around starting on the inside and work out.

roll them up on themselves then put carbs in unroll

I've had luck heating them up with a hair drier and using some wd40 to lube them up if they get stubborn.

.

soak em in a zip lock back full of this stuff

Good Fortune!

I guess mine are old and stiff there is no rolling these bad boys

Yes, typo it is an 81

Thanks guys, I'll try the suggestions and let you know, I'm thinking the new ones might be the way to go. Are they really supposed to be soft enough to roll?

Got new air boots from Z1, went on like butter, I tried everything to get my originals to become pliable. Do yourself a favor and just get new ones.
