1100GS manifold to head Q

[Wrigsby1]

I have just measured up my RH TB for a possible Carb up/downgrade (stop laughing). As I was doing this i noticed the Rubber manifold was twisting slightly when I was removing the airbox tube. I unbolted it and it seems to be held on by F all!

It was either a BMW dry "ribbed" arrangement where they compressed when bolted up.... or it was another strange BM gasket material?

Do I used some liquid gasket and re bolt or is there some strange "other" way?

Never had need in my 3 GS's to remove this before and now it's helped itself...

Ta's in advance

Stuck some instant gasket in there and put it back together. Then rebalanced... so it was leaking a bit of air.

I expected something a little more substantial and as the manifold was 15 years old the original ribbing had flattened and hardened so worth a check for all you 11 folk.
