[QUOTE="ogrilp400, post: 32135, member: 88"] Conversly Ossie, make sure that the rubbers under the rear are not so thick that the rear tank distance piece hits the stop valve assembly, causing it to vibrate and crack out of the UFM. Things are quite tight in this area and constant checking for the clearance of things is essential. Bruce, I have a short lenght, 3" to 5", of push bike tube in my special tools box that I use to stretch over the neck of the oil tank so that the paint remains unscathed during fitting and refitting. Tuck the loose top of this down into neck to stop anything falling into the tank whilst the cap is off. [/QUOTE]
