#252139 stinger (User) Hey y'all...watch this! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1397 Re:oil cooling 2 Years, 4 Months ago   A very simple way to add a fan to a cooler would be to use a computer case fan. They're found in many different sizes & all run on 12v.   Logged     http://s671.photobucket.com/home/jhurdle/index   The administrator has disabled public write access. #252140 bushrjackson (User) she's pretty EH? Gold Boarder Posts: 613 Re:oil cooling 2 Years, 4 Months ago   This has been discussd before - lots. You don't need to worry bout overheating unless yor gonna idle for an hour in 100+ heat. The oil lines are BIG, long, more than adequate to cool. If you really want an oil cooler I can sell you a very pretty chrome one for $300...................just joking.   Logged     2006, 3\\\\\\\" HK rez tec\\\\\\\'s   The administrator has disabled public write access. #252215 The Gardener (User) OCR Gold Boarder Posts: 625 Re:oil cooling 2 Years, 4 Months ago   Questcap wrote: Gardener, You need to give some thought to using a thermostat. Oil operates at peak effeciency when within the proper operating range. It can be run too cool, and not perform as engineered, resulting in less protection. exactly right but you left out the #'s 160-190*F is "proper operating temperature" hot enough to cook off the moisture without killing the viscosity. if i were to quote someone on that it would be popular mechanics circa late 70's to early 80's. but ofcourse oil itself has come a long way sinse then.   Logged     you can find more about me & my R* on: http://www.facebook.com/davida.johansen   The administrator has disabled public write access. #252217 The Gardener (User) OCR Gold Boarder Posts: 625 Re:oil cooling 2 Years, 4 Months ago   this is kinda decent looking, couple to choose from if you go back one. and the price aint too bad neither. this abnd the adaptor and couple 4" fans, momentary sw in the right sw housing (yes their is room)... sounds like a project... http://www.jcwhitney.com/ULTRA-THIN_TRANSMISSION_OIL_COOLER?ID=12;0;1101003758;0;100001;ProductName;10;0;0;0;2000991;0;0 and their should be room without the smog pump....   Logged     you can find more about me & my R* on: http://www.facebook.com/davida.johansen   The administrator has disabled public write access. #263890 RangeRider (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 4 Re:oil cooling 2 Years, 2 Months ago   If you do install an oil cooler get the adapter from JAG. It fits between the engine block and oil filter housing.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #263901 takehikes (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2279 Re:oil cooling 2 Years, 2 Months ago   Jamie...if that is a pusher fan then you might pick up some extra speed! I have taken a number of looks at the Strat/Roadliner oil cooler, really small but it must work to cool that big dog. You could hide it real easily. Big Bear can you confirm how small it is? Hey, that came out kind of funny.....   Logged     http://aeechoppers.blogspot.com/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #263904 cdrprn (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 416 Re:oil cooling 2 Years, 2 Months ago   Years back I put a lockart system on my XS 650. It came with a thermostat. Who knows if it helped but it looked neat and it did improve the clutch fade that thing had when in traffic on a hot day. Since I commute in traffic I've thought about a oil temp gauge but the bike seems to handle heat well. BOL 2007 stock commuter   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
