Yes Somehow I was able to remove and install one without accessing those inner clamps. I slid that boot back and tightened those inner clamps. I wondered why it was so tight to get it back in. Also it did have the small hose it was just not pointed up and visible.
Do all of the 1200 exhaust have double boots like that joining the two halves? The one I worked on didnt have a hose attached to that outer boot and I never had to slide the one rubber sleeve to get to a second rubber boot.
Hi Michael My question is about 2000 xlt 1200 been seating a few years . Changed the old fuel , plugs and new battery . It cranked good and sparks but did not start . Next try kinda smoke came on the left side of it which I believe the starter is located . Now won’t start at all . Very low hours on it about 160 My questions are : 1) can be the starter fried ? 2) can be just start relay ? 3) or is that any fuses/cricket breakers for that ? Thanks in advance
1. The starter could be fried, I would check and see if the positive or ground cable is loose on the motor. 2. The solenoid is in the black electrical box behind the motor. 3. On the black electrical box look for a big knob, it's about 2 in in diameter, there are two fuses in there. One is for the starter, and the other fuse is for the CDI unit.
Well you remove all the bolts that hold the exhaust on, remove the exhaust,then on the carb air box (the black box on the carbs) there should be 5 plastic sliding clips( 2 on top, 1 one on the back, and the two hardest ones to get to are the bottom 2). After that, there will be bolts that hold the air box to the carbs, remove them. The next step is to remove the allen bolts between the carbs and the 10mm bolts that hold the carbs to the reed block and the oil/fuel lines, and the throttle cable.

They all should have the second boot. The outer boot is the water jacket. And the inner boot is for the exhaust.

How do I get to carburetor?
