Has anyone had issues with the stock charge tubes cracking? I have a 2017 with 17,000km on it and they still look like new. My 2023 SRX has 4km on it and the charge tubes are all cracked.
I would assume this would be covered under warranty.

Yes my new 2024 zr9000rr came home wright from the crate with one of the two weather checked looking, had some original nos on the shelf to compare from past sleds and looks as if the cracked one is made of diffrent material, installed new hurricane silocone hose's.

Yes should be warranty but will be same junk you have. One of my 23’s had that happen and I tuned a 24 with zero miles thathad same issue. Buy quality silicone hoses.

The way my 23 looked too. Complete junk. Obviously they changed up the contractor making them.

Well the dealership said the charge tubes are on back order until the end of March.
I am supposed to be going on a sled trip in 10 days, I don't think the cracks are fully through the tube, but I imagine it's probably not advisable to drive the sled with the cracks, it probably throws some kind of error code?

Late 22 build models and quite a few 23 & 24 models all have the same crappy charge tubes. I have gold, black, blue, and green in stock if anyone is needing a upgraded set in the USA.
