Hi, new here, been reading discussions and I know there's a lot of knowledge here. Anyway just picked up a 91 SRV the top of both rear shocks rub on the track, not sure why, I've removed the rear skid cause I'm going to replace the track any thing to look for when I put it back together, or should I replace it with an xtra 10 or any other suggestions?. Thanks a lot

I think you may have some weird stuff going on. The top of the rear shock may contact the track from time to time due to the track bouncing and flexing. The front shock has absolutely no way it can hit the track as its between the linkage. Can you post a pic of your skid??
Ok I'll snap some tonight, Thanks.
I'll get some better ones once I'm home, im wondering if it was assembled wrong cause the front shock really sticks up high

Make sure everything is greased and also I think there three or four suspension rods that come out they should be greased every year. A lot of times there are grease fittings on there . I have a 90 and I had to weld mine on. Good luck

I would send that carb boot back and find an oem or genuine Mikuni flange. That boot wont seal correctly because there isnt metal in the flange like the original. It will cup when you torque it down. I've tried the cheap boots in the past with poor results. Also, I can guaranty that flange will dry rot and crack within a year.

5 of the #38 boot flange bags say spi and RSI. The ones # 20 are for 40 or 44
and some odd ones are in bags sealed with no lettering.

Quality is not much of an importance in Taiwan. I'm not saying everything s¥cks because it doesn't. It's a cr@p shoot. Sometimes ya win, sometimes ya don't.
Hey, thanks for the help guys, I found the suspension bracket, we'll be nice to get this thing back together, still haven't found the airbox side carb boot, maybe eBay? Has anyone ever used one that worked off different machine? The pics and one your referring to is on the intake side.
