@Chak yea unfortunately you'll find more riding buddies through groups on FB than elsewhere.
@Jung one is more than enough trouble! Bike's reassembled, which is the worst part of that damn carb on that bike.
To get the carb off, you must remove side panels, seat, fuel tank, open throttle body, undo cables, remove cables from carb, remove airbox mounting bolts, remove rear master reservoir mount, force the airbox boot back against frame, and maybe just maybe you'll have 2mm to rotate the carb out.
To put it back on is even worse, there's a particular angle it might just go back but the manifolds don't like it. I need to find another way, which might be removing mudguard mounts to let the airbox drop out the way completely.
Not a fun job if you want to keep adjusting the carb setup. I'd like to do it in situ but it's not quite possible because of the flat slide upper.
