any one have problems with carb boots on a budys 98 zr 600 efi they are both split wide open ?

very common problem. lots of posts about this on here.

I check those bad boys every (late) fall and usually once through the winter... if I ride lots!
Have replaced mine a few times! Mine split on the cyclinder side of the clamp, and unless you take the clamp off, can't really see the problem.
Could cause a burn down if your not careful. My EFI acts really strange when mine rip, the idle will not come down!!

I replaced mine with Kimpex carb boots. Visit www.royaldistributing.com

They are half the price of OEM boots.

check airbox boot also
