I have a '79 xs400, first bike I've ever owned and recently bought it just to have something to mess around with. First thing I had to do when I got the bike was replace the intake boots and when my father in law was helping figure out the starting issues he noticed how on the boots themselves had a copper/brass nipple on each(picture provided) and was asking if they were supposed to be exposed or have a cover on them. The previous owner had the boots completely wrapped in electrical tape.
