i was looking into maybe getiing an oil cooler and i was told mickey dunlop carries a good one, does anyone no what their website is, if they have one? i can't find it. thanks

they dont have a website, best thing to do is look in the back of dirtwheels, he always has a small ad in the advertising section

Mickey thinks this Internet thingy is just a fad an will eventually go away and doesn't want to waste his money on a website....:huh

actually if you log onto bluetraxx you'd notice that he's been spendin a little time explainin some of the yfz problems, only to get flamed and attacked. this sure wouldnt help his view on the internet. i also remember him saying that his internet sales are only around 5% of his makings. and with how many months of wait for his motors, i dont think he needs to take on anything more than new staff

alright thanks guys, i will just check the back of the magazine for a phone # then. thanks again

btw I ran the oil cooler on my old 400ex and worked pretty good. didnt get to run it to much before my motor blew but it seemed nice. the only thing i didnt like about it was how they expected you to mount it with a set of zipties :(

Mickey is a busy man. He had a website a while ago, and it simply wasn't worth his time. He would spend several hours per week answering emails and stuff, only to have a small percentage of those turn into sales. So he took down his website and spent those several hours per week actually working on motors rather than answering emails, and his output (and thus income) grew about 30%.

Think about it. You can spend 8 hours answering emails and make $100 in sales, or you can spend 8 hours working on engines and make $400 in labor and profit. Which are you going to choose?

hey Muff... was it because of the oil cooler you installed the engine blew or just something else? i don't want to get it if it is going to screw things up and make something bad happen. thanks!

[mrdude1400]

thanks, all i've got is a stock 400 now tho. i had to part that one out so i could get the money for my yfz....(which i'm glad i did). the ex was nice, but the yfz is just unreal on the track

[mrdude1400]

awesome, i wish i could afford one of those but, i'm only 15, not a whole lot of money right now, so the EX works for now.
