I got a small cooler to mount under the radiator, to fill that empty spot. Well turned out not fitting there, so had to move it up in front of the radiator instead. | I got a small cooler to mount under the radiator, to fill that empty spot. Well turned out not fitting there, so had to move it up in front of the radiator instead. Oil viscosity for my bike is not an issue, due to I use Shell Rotella 5w-40 synthetic which I run year round. Oil temperatures are higher than coolant, due to several reasons two main ones are the friction, and higher boiling point. I'm also not worried about over cooling the oil, due to the size of the cooler. | ||
Installation was easy, I removed the external oil pressure line, the one located in the front of the engine, going from the lower to the upper part of the engine. | Installation was easy, I removed the external oil pressure line, the one located in the front of the engine, going from the lower to the upper part of the engine. | ||
