😂 Sorry mate. I'll stick to a Dutch accent for a next time

Getting them out takes me 5 minutes per rubber. Untighten the coiled spring from the inlet rubber. Grab your heat gun or hair dryer and heat the rubber until it is hot. And when I say hot I mean really hot. Pry the rubber out of the airbox and carb inlet using your fingers. You can also wrap a piece of rope around the rubber and pull it out. Once out with the carbs removed, the rubbers van be placed back in the airbox. Fold them back, fixate with the ring for easy carb slotting once you are all done. Hot air is the key.

I'd say pry them out. With a hammer you could damage things, including your thumb 😉

@@michelp1398 at 1:30 you said to use a hammer to slam them out gently, but didn't go into detail. Can you elaborate on how you got them out?

@@998RC i'm not sure how I did it exactly back then. In any case if you use a hammer, do not use excessive force. Gentle taps only

Here in Holland there is a lot of chalk in the drinking water. In the Quooker the water is "burned" but the chalk remains in the form of limestone.

Some good to recommend?My throttle cable snapped today and I don't want to bother with that air box anymore...

Heat up the airbox rubbers with a hairdryer and pry them out. Make sure to heat them up firmly until they get soft and flexible. Once they are out, the removal becomes a walk in the park 😉

Thanks that's a great idea. I was dreading this.

Use a piece of rope to pull them out to the outside. It is doable you will manage I am sure

Good way to help do a tricky job, thanks for sharing. 😁👍

Ever since I started snowboarding 30 years ago I used the clicker bindings. I cannot tell the difference between conventional bindings and are clickers. But judging at my own skills we are not missing out on anything 😉

Bummer! What is causing them not to fit?

I just purchased a new pair of the Boundary boots, and they are going to work with my binds, however they are going to need slight modifications to make them work. I am going to have to flip my binds due to the release tab being on the opposite side on my boots, and I may potentially need to shave a bit of metal off the heel hook on my boots in order to make the clip on the binds grab the boot properly.

I wish we knew!! As far as what K2 tells us, it’s actually not black and white. Their comparability notice only mentions that “Clicker C HB bindings are only compatible with Clicker X HB boots.” It doesn’t say the same for vise versa, I think they are hinting at the fact that the newer X HB Clicker boots are compatible with the older Clicker/Shimano bindings. However, I did read a comment of someone who bought one of the newer “2x BOA” K2 Clicker boot (they never said which model exactly) and that this boot wasn’t compatible with the older binding and needed to be modified.

I just went to the local ski shop to have my board sharpened. I went to the snowboarding department and he happen to have a newer pair of K2 compass clickers, and he was like I don’t think they’re going to fit and sure enough they fit perfectly. Obviously I haven’t been able to try them on a mountain, but they fit in the store. I didn’t buy those. I’m still looking to see what I want to get, but just letting you know it does seem like the newer ones fit.

Yah know actually I just looked online and they might have been 2015 model lol. He just happened to have a pair sitting there. I wish my boots fit better. Maybe my foot grew in last 20 yearsnlol

In case your board is already equiped with the clicker system you are all set. Those are actually the bindings. The black metal baseplate with the shiny metal teethed disc. That is what the clicker binding is all about.

Why? Do you think it should be the other way around?

Yes it did!

@@michelp1398 sounds good..Im having the same issue. hope a new oring fixes it for me.. thanks

it will for 3 years.. what you need is an oversized.. I'm about to redo this same thing I did 3 years ago but with an oversize.

Hi Greg, I bought my boots at a company here in Europe called Bluetomato.com. Just Google kwicker boots and you will be fine.

i just bought some K2 Maysis clicker boots the other day at a local discount ski shop

Hey Brian did those boots fit the old K2 clicker bindings? I just scored a pair myself and am really hoping they will click in without issue. Any thoughts are appreciated!

Kevin did your new boots fir your old bindings?

Hi Dennis, de benodigde software heet TunEcu. Ik heb het destijds gratis kunnen downloaden van een website. Tevens heb je een speciale kabel nodig waarmee je je motor koppelt met de usb-poort van je laptop. Google en je vindt het. Succes!

Hello George, this was a 2012 SMT if I remember well. The spacer is indeed an integral part of the sprocket support. If you have not got one perhaps it was never there before or the previous owner forgot to put it back in after doing a bearing overhaul.

@@michelp1398 I'm currently doing this on my 2012 SMT and there is no spacer between the bearings. Part does not show up on the parts diagram but is on the RC8 diagram. Both models share the same sprocket carrier so that's weird. Do you think I should buy one or not? Also, I had a hard time removing the spacers bushings without damaging them, not sure how you removed them so cleanly.

@@WoZIMoo if I were you I would get the spacer. It ensures that the bearings cannot move towards ECG l each other when tightening the axle nut while it also guides the rear axle next to the bushes on the outside.

I also have no spacer on my 2010 SMT. Looking inside, I can see the "bottoms" of the 2 bushings touching each other, so not even space for a spacer. Looking at the 2012 parts diagram, they have completely different part numbers for those 2 bushings, and the left and right bushings are the same part numbers whereas on my 2010 they are 2 different part number.

That is indeed a bummer! Did you buy K2 boots or a different brand?

@@michelp1398 Original K2 Stark Kwicker 2014/15. The black ones with double boa and green decals.

How bizar! My Compass boots from K2 do fit the old clicker bindings. The sole should be not different to the Stark boots 🤔

​@@michelp1398 I just bought a pair of Compass boots. I have probably 7 different old school clicker bindings....so if yours work on the old bindings, that is perfect. I'll buy the new binding if I have to, but I'd rather not

You cannot go wrong. Best choice ever, you will not regret

All I know is that the battery in my video works perfectly well. I am convinced that other battery types will work as well.

@@michelp1398 , tks bro for your further info...

It's normal. Have one myself and it goes off when the bike starts. Quoting from the original Owners Manual: The warning light in the meter instrument and the oil pressure warning symbol in the digital meter flash whenever the oil pressure is dangerously low OR the ignition switch is in the ON position with the engine not running, and go off when the engine oil pressure is high enough. www.kawasaki-onlinetechinfo.net/dispeBook?file=99976-1566&mark=ZR750MAF&manual_kind=OM&lang_code=EN&model_year=2010&nickname=Z750+ABS&dist_cd=207&country_cd=--&manual_filenm=99976-1566_EN_2.pdf&first_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kawasaki.ch%2F

It is not fore obvious fraudulent reasons. The trips can be reset though.

Which bit is the hard part?

Mine had the same issue. Took ten minutes of wiggling to get it out of the tank. The rubber piece at the the base of the gas cap appears to have swollen with age, and catches on the black nylon(plastic) trim ring on the opening of the tank. I used a razor to remove a tiny bit of the (red/orange) rubber piece on the bottom of the gas cap that appeared to be “flared” out, then I removed the black nylon (zytel?) trim ring and used a dremel with a sanding bit to increase the inside diameter just a bit - just don’t overdo it. Gas cap now works perfectly.

Zeker Wilco! 😀

Good to hear that you enjoyed my video. I unfortunately cannot help you with the all changed since I've sold my Peugeot. I am sure that there are a dozen of great videos out there to to help you you getting in the right direction.

It is the K2 Compass boot.

The wiggle never bothered me when cruising down the slopes. Perhaps the half pipe experts require bindings with less tolerance. Anyway, with my new K2 Compass boots the wiggle was gone.

@@michelp1398 did it effect you if ever hitting jumps im a beginner and enjoy doing jumps and some spins do you think it will effect anything? And have you noticed is there any way to fix the wiggle

@@ethanmenoni918 I am not really into jumps and doing airtime so I cannot advice you on that one. They perform really well when carving down icey slopes or just for a nice relaxed ride.

@@michelp1398 okay I’m sure if they are fine for carving it won’t make a big diffeeence jumping

Graag gedaan gabber 😉

Putting grease on the back of the pads is not a good idea. The pads become hot enough to melt the grease which could then run out onto the disk or your wheel.

Use a sharp blade and "saw" the case open.

Ur absolutely correct---new technology is far better. However, as with women, men get emotionally attached to their boards---i've been married to my K2 Eldorado for 22 yrs now & cannot possibly divorce her, even if she injures me :/

Amazon compadre. But there are a lot more shops where you can buy this type of battery. Success!

More to it than that. I rode the originals back in the day on a rental and had a good time with them but was just learning as I was a skier. So when I got back into winter sports 22 years later and decided to go with snowboarding I went straight to K2 and saw they had updated them. I bought them. Fighting with ice and snow at least every other time clicking in. Then after a year and a half the soles started to rip off the boot. I bought another set of boots because I really liked the convienence of clicking in on the chair and just riding off. Less chance of falling when you're locked in which has saved my ass more than once when my wife, daughter, or nieces and nephews have gone down exiting the chair and I just ride off and laugh. So another season and a half go by and the soles start to rip off the new compass clicker boots I had purchased. K2 customer service had taken all the info they needed on the Starks I had originally bought then ghosted me so no replacement on them. After the Compass' started to do it I was beyond upset. I took them back to the ski shop I purchased them at and had them call K2. K2 said "sorry" they're 3 months passed a year old so we won't do anything" So I went and demo'd a set of Burton Step On's. OMG, they're so much better. Board feel is better. Response is better. I can still click in on the chair if I want. There is zero issue with ice and snow getting jammed up in the mechanisms. Sure you'll get some on the foot bed if you're skating but you just brush it off with your glove just like a strapped binding and in you go. I haven't ridded a strapped binding in 26 years and then it was just 1 or 2 runs. But my wife has and she love's her Burton Step Ons. Says they feel the same and I believe it because we bought them on the mountain 2 years ago. We went straight to the top as soon as we walked out of the door and ripped down the mountain like nothing had changed. In fact I think she was a little bit faster as the boot held her foot better than the K2 Contour boots she was riding in the Burton Escapade bindings.
