Number 21 on diagram, both boots that connect carbs to cylinder head. For a 2001. Also need the valve piston in the carbs.

Thanks

I have intake boots from a 98 I believe, but I know they didn't fit the carbs on my 05.. the carbs are bigger. on later models, I'm not sure when they changed this, maybe you, or someone else can chime in on when the size change happened.

but I do have boots, ready to go. if your confident the ones I have will work. if you want pictures let me know.

It looks like they won't fit, I guess its from 01-08 roughly.

Thanks for checking!

The bike was idling high, and running lean last summer. Ended up the boots had some decent cracks around the 90 degree bend part.

I put some rtv over the crack as a temp fix, and it worked. But I want to properly fix it before the riding season here in MN starts.

I have some good ones on an '07.  Make offer

The later model boots are what Suzuki part numbers for 89-00 have updated into. They do fit ... sorta.
If you're running a K&N Lunchbox, make sure you have a mechanism to keep that whole carb/lunch box setup locked onto the boots. I have had it come off while riding.

89-00 boots on 89-00 carbs slide in and give a satisfying "thuccckkk" 04+ boots and 89-00 carbs don't. I have 01-02 carbs on 04+ boots and its a semi "thuccccckkkk" ... maybe 04+ carbs are better - no idea, not tried it.

Cool.
