DSS aftermarket carb/air box rubbers
royhall:
Watch out for the aftermarket rubbers especially Cruzinimage. I had some on the 350F (identical to the 400/4) that cracked after only 120 miles. As is always the case, get genuine if possible although the price difference is tempting.

Does that mean you had to change them Roy? The last post I can find from you when this was mentioned before was that you were going to check if the cracking went to the inside and report back.

You can get it off the internet it is used in aromatherapy, don't know why as it stinks. ;D

Not had chance to check the cracks fully, but the exterior cracking is quite extensive. Will have a good look and post some pictures if possible.

Finally got into the garage to have a good look at the rubbers. The outsides of all the rubbers are badly cracked, but it appears that the insides are okay. Not sure how this happened but they were not cracked like this when they were brand new. Going to re-fit them and keep an eye on the condition over time. Will spray them with carb cleaner every now and then to check for air leaks. These are Cruzinimage rubbers with 120 miles on them.
