    Sump bolt question

    You are talking about the 17 iirc M6 bolts and not the 3 big drain bolts in the sump right? Not heard of this exact issue before but yeah engine fasteners particularly low torque ones like these which can't be tightened as they are steel bolts in aluminium... they can loosen due to vibration...

    Crazy ignition skip under load

    How do you know it's ignition cutting out? And when did this start? Need to know if anything or anyone was at the bike, service works etc.

    2014 roadster parting out

    Sounds like he might've overtightened it so. Wonder did he use a wrench. You're only supposed to turn it by finger tips (while turning engine by hand so chain slack is taken up everywhere else) until finger tight as they say, and back off maybe 1/8 turn.

    I might take the ABS block if you're going that far

    Cam chain timing

    Not too bad. Just make sure to turn over by hand a couple times and check alignment.

    Cam chain timing

    Unfortunately no. The cams are in the right place but the crank is gone too far. The dots on the main gear on the crank need to line up with the lines on the crankcase, same time as the cams are in the position they're in in the photo. You'll need to ensure the chain is taught from the cam...

    Staking tool?

    As above, except I use a small chisel or centre punch to unstake as much as possible first.

    Turbo R3 TuneECU or PC6?

    The PC makes developing a map approximately a million times faster & easier than TuneECU. There's a list of stuff you could/should do to an 06 especially while in there too - are you doing pistons?

    Robinson Engineering

    Ime, comms can be excellent or completely non existent. I'm not aware of anyone besides Bill who works there/attends to phone and email. Have you tried the phone?

    Transmission questions

    Back cut is where the dogs and windows (male and female bits that mesh together to engage a gear) have a little machined off so that their mating faces are slanted, it helps a lot for the dogs and windows to catch and pull into each other. Can you post a pic pointing to where this play is...

    Transmission questions

    Yeah 5th input that's it. Closest gear to clutch after the little 1st gear that's part of the intput shaft itself. The Belleville washers act like a spring to hold resistance against it so the gear can be engaged. This vid might help show
