    I had to buy new ones as mine were impossible to fit

    Put the rubbers in hot water or the hot sun beforehand

    try with the rubbers on the air box first or with them on the carbys first then the the airbox pushed in

    a little bit of silicone spray or rubber grease may help .... just smeared on the joining surfaces

    and a whole heap of patience!

    Took off the spare tank from Scarlet and checked the carburetor. The inside still looks nice and clean but i heard a strange rattle. Opened up the top cover and found one of the two screws holding the cylindrical slide onto the throttle linkage had come out! Screwed it back in and put everything back together including her original tank with the replacement petcock.

    Left the battery charging so I can take her for a ride without losing the electrics while I wait for the replacement reg/rec to arrive.

    might be it gearing down but it was very loud... did you fell the gear lever snap into gear from a false neutral?
