    The two missing scrivets have substantially solved my issue. I still get some minor noise, but I'm not so worried about it.

    I might try checking to make sure where the farings "mate" together that there is something insulating them, in case they are rattling on each other.

    Always good to pull the fairings off from time to time and have a good looksee under there. Thin single sided foam tape is good for taking rattles out of fairings if there is a gap or something.

    As for revving the engine in netural, as long as it is not snappy revving it but let the needle swing up and back down again smoothly it should be ok on a warm engine. Some bikes can only be exacty timed at full advance anyway, so you have to do that

    I guess not. I don't see any harm in revving a warm engine to less than half its redline while in neutral for short periods of time.

    Did some Googling. Couldn't find anything credible to suggest there was any risk either.
