Yep, fit a gasket. I have ridden in RMC's with and without gaskets ..some without gaskets are dead quiet...some are not. All with gaskets are dead quiet.

The body ( moreso the inner tub) on an RMC and I suspect a G-force do not fit well to the chassis. Hence in places the tub is off the chassis..other places it fits tightly.

No need for expensive gaskets. The easiest and best to fit is the 50mm wide bitumen impregnated builders foam. The black sticky stuff which is quite thick (maybe 12mm) but compresses to nothing.

The only problem with it is that it does collect dust on any exposed edges so make an effort to trim any foam which is exposed after fitting.

Cheers
