04 rev carb boots

[mr]

Hey, for all of you riding the older REV's, check your carb boots. Mine was idling a little high this last weekend and when I got back home I found that both of my carb boots were in various stages of delamination. I am lucky I did not burn it down.

This is a well known defect on the REV's.
Swap out the boots with the 2007 boots (BRP fixed the problem in '07) or go with V Force III reeds and boots if you're made of money

Well, I am not made of money so Doo boots are on the way.

My sons was doing the same thing, we ended up putting on boyesen reeds. We'll have our first ride on it this weekend and see how it does.

I just bought a brand new set of VFIII reeds and one of the boots had a crack in it. Are they known for this or were some of them defective?? Still waiting for the replacement set, but the shop I bought them from is screwing around.

VF III's are not known for defects. You got a bad one!

Wait until you see the price of the stock DOO boots--I went to Boysen for just a few bucks more.

I had to replace the boots on my budys o4 800x they were $60 i didn't think that was to bad compared to $300 for new valves. The 04 summit still rocks so why change it. That is for us flat landers.

+2 I found the Boots at Steel Dreams in burlington for $70 a piece.
Where can I get them for only $60?

The 800 reeds are a great quality part but the boots suck until '07.
You won't gain anything noticable by replacing the reeds with an aftermarket set except a lighter wallet
