I have just done a bunch of mods to my 200X and I am trying to put an XR200 carb on it. The problem I am having is how do I get the stock 200X boot from the airbox to fit onto the bigger carb? The stock carb is 24mm and the XR200 carb is 26mm. I have troed to heat the boot up and strech it but it didnt work. I know that this mod has been done so there has to be away to do this. Any ideas???

On the rubber boots, I've always had good luck using Brake Fluid (Not everyone will agree with this...) and let the boot soak in it over night. Usually looser then a goose in the morning and you could probably stretch it twice its size if you wanted to.
