The intake rubber ensures the smooth flow of air into the engine. It connects the air filter to the carburettor or injection system and ensures that clean air enters the engine.
This is usually made of high-quality rubber or silicone that is both flexible and durable. This provides a good seal between the air filter housing and the carburettor to prevent dirt and foreign matter from entering.
If the intake rubber is damaged or worn, air leaks can occur, which will have a negative effect on the performance and handling of the motorbike. It is therefore important to check the intake rubber regularly and replace it if necessary to ensure optimum engine performance.
