I have an oil cooler, before installed the bike shutdown in traffic after about 1 hour. When I installed it was first for looks, second a challenge to see if I could put it together for much cheaper than a jaggs. Buck sells an oil filter cover and I believe he says it will lower oil temp 30%, but I have not compared mine. I can only say I went to Main street during bikeweek and was stuck in traffic for about an hour and half with no issue. My buddies R* and 2 Ultras both shutdown. This is a fairly inexpensive Chrome addon ($110 when I did mine)

Hope this helps
Steve


Shut down ??? what did they do seize up????

I picked it up on ebay for $58, it came with the 2 bottom clamps and the top anti vibration bolt. The sandwich adapter I pick up on ebay also, but after going to the purolater site and matching which make of car used the PL14610 filter. Here is the oil cooler and clamps:

When the engine overheats they will shut down and restart in a couple of minutes. Harley's will do the same with no problems. This happened to me 10,000 miles ago and no issues with the engine.

I hate to have it shut down on me in traffic! I can't push this Roadie uphill!
Is there some kind of thermostatic switch in the Roadie engine that even Yamaha has not mentioned in the Owner's Manual? I'm gonna grab my manual and "read" it to see if it mentions anything on this.
