Title: Glue for Intake Manifold from Airbox to Cars?
Post by: MasterM3 on March 23, 2006, 12:25:03 AM

The previous owner of my 91 B4 told me that he did the following work to the bike

Reglue intake manifolds from air box to carbs, 2 years ago
Reglue vacuum tube from #1 intake manifold, 2 yrs ago

Could this possibly mean the manifold was cracked? Is this a common procedure? Please help this noob out thanks!

Those parts were all glued on from the factory. I've had to reglue mine in the past. If the airbox was cracked you'd see it. Even so, duct tape will fix it.

I just wanted to see if there was pretty much a consensus that these pieces are glued from the factory. Just looking for a few more voiced opinions. Thanks! :grin:

A lot of times you won't get a bunch of agreement posts if there's nothing to argue about. One person gives the right answer, and if no one has anything to add, it's done.

Since no one has been calling BS on this, (especially GSXR400racer), trust Interfuse.

Or take a look for yourself. You'll see the glue around the airbox outlet thats attaching it to the airbox. Soak your airbox in hot water and they'll seperate.
