Never heard that the oil-filter canister can "move". Interesting! Did you find the cause of this ?
It was almost jack-pot on oil-pressure affecting possibilities! -  -
How badly worn was the main-bearing seat, and the oil-pump housing?
How did you solve the oil-pump housing enlargement?
So if 7-8bars at operating temp is too high, how high should it be ?
I get this pressure in the oil-cooler loop, so it will be giving a slightly different pressure as to where the oil-pressure gauge is installed from factory.
I get these pressure at 120-130'C which seems to be the operating temp on my bike (also measured in the oil-cooler loop). Two days ago when I went to Söderköping (210km south of Stockholm - mainly freeway) I had 7bars at ca 120km/h, 135'C, Biltema Sverige new 0W-50 fully synthetic (crap) oil. I usually use Omega 757 20W50 - will change to that in a while, just "flushing" the engine with this "cheap" oil.
Which cam did you choose, 324', 320', other ?
I've tried getting some data on the cams - none available besides marketing claims. Is there any Dyna tests showing the true difference between the cams ? Most interested since I have a R100RT on my mc-lift/table for overhaul - not sure how much to do to the engine. Run 160 000km and runs very well; it just the constant lubrication of the frame and engines out-side that I need to fix, studd grummets are... and the cam-chaing cover is... I've put in a new oil-pump and new crank-seal (the seal that was installed was very wrong but had nevertheless held-up for over 100 000km(!). The gearbox is overhauled and HPN +5% and -6% sprockets are installed. New splines in the final drive.
