Strong stuff like that does harm to the rubberish compound the boots are made of, i believe.

If riders would only read and follow the instructions in the owners manual alot of carb problems wouldn't happen. :disturbed: The manual states...
Symptoms say you'll be cleaning the carbs b4 it runs right.
Cooling system pressure test is described in the FSM.

If you can find it, the same tool works on a VFR to set the shock preload and chain adjustment on Honda's NT650 Hawk.
Why did he loose it ??
