250-500cc 360 intake boot/manifold equivalents

thought i read somewhere here that the 360 boot is discontinued but the 250 one works? is this true and what year 250s will fit? do they have the correct angle for the airbox?

I'm pretty sure that the 360 boot has a different bolt pattern than my '09 250 but i'll double check for sure.

One of my 360 boots tore not too long ago and I got one on ebay for a reasonable price.

Somebody here posted a link to a place that makes aftermarket boots for the 125 or 250 for around $100, maybe they could make a 360 boot as well.

I'll look through my parts to see if I have a spare in usable condition but i'm pretty sure I don't

You're talking the manifold between carb and reeds, correct?

The boot is quite a bit different on the 360, with how it mounts to the reed cage and all. They wouldn't be able to swap over.

If you mean the airbox to carb, that won't work either, more than likely. It was something that I had to switch between the '92 and the '12 when I swapped the 360 in. The lengths on those are quite different, so I don't think you'd have the fit with the 250 boot on the 360.

yes, im after the boot between the carb and reeds. mine isnt bad yet, but id like to pick up a new one or at least a solid spare..wouldnt mind the the other airbox to carb boot as well...

May talk outta turn here the air box to carb trunk horn thing from my 250 1998 fitted my 360 2002 no problem.
As for fixing the cage, some silcaflex would do the trick industrial silicone or a rubber solution of some sort may be your best bet.

The intake boot or reed block boot is unique as the the 360 carbs sits more off centre than the 250 carbs. If yours is cracking and can't find a replacement (either 2nd hand or new), shoegoo is the bomb!!!

so this brings up an interesting thought
if the 250 boot and manifold are different from the 360 and they share a frame and cases
can you use a 250 boot and intake

The intake bolt patterns are different the 250 is smaller entrance port.
But the air horn trumpet trunk thing fitted straight on from my 250.
So yes to airbox to carb and
No to manifold

bummer
bought a new airbox boot but a manifold, hmmmmm

looks like its being produced now..i ordered one to try. perhaps my prayers were heard. as i did not see these a few weeks ago

update...i bought the the above boot and it fits well. the exterior finish is a a bit lacking but it works

The 98 WR 250 manifold also fits the 95-97 WR/CR 125's when using the Keihin PWK 36mm A/S. It straightens up the inlet tract quite nicely.

also, i offered him 100 and he accepted. maybe he would take less? either way, fair price.
