It might be easier to get a second engine and drop it in while you tune ... opps fix the original.

You may be right there.
Prob is they dont apear to come up for sale that often. I beleive the Kit Car bods tend to nab them. Only one Iv seen they want over 700 notes for it.

So if Oily was to do the work (for example) you could get the bike to him, he could change the engine and then repair yours. So you wouldn't miss the summer. Then when yours is repaired ride it back to him and swap the motors back.

That way the engine numbers stay the same on the V5, because Bimota engines have different numbers to Suzuki's

I had a similar issue, years ago.
I found that the linkages were not quite adjusted properly. One thing I fixed was the angle of the shift lever. It turned out, it was to high and my toe and ankle wasn't pressing it upward with enough pressure and it would "mis-shift".
I changed the angle downward one or two gogs and now I don't have to lift my toe as high to engage a good positive shift.
It's worth a try......good luck.
