I am planning to put about 600 miles of mild use on the engine before making the trip to Rexxer.

Tom at Rennsport Motorrad in DeLand (shop owner who reassembled the engine) wants to see the bike again to re-torque the heads and adjust the valves before I complete the final tune.

While it would have definitely been less expensive and I wish I had done all of this work myself, it is just nice to have my bike back and have the opportunity to ride again. I had been riding the wife's SV650 from time to time and although it is a nice bike, it does not give me the same pleasure as riding the R1200S.

I am going to investigate fabricating the oil pump shim but do not plan to incorporate the change anytime soon. I have upgraded the oil pressure relief spring in addition to increasing the oil cooling capacity. Wossner did not feel that modifying the oil pump was a requirement and neither does Tom at Rennsport. Perhaps if I were racing the bike but as it is only intended for street use I do not plan to break into the oil pump at this time.
