Cbr 1100 Oil Cooler Mod

[j450rking]

just to start out i would like this to be a sticky seeing as i have been asked about this mod 4 times this week and there have been ALOT of posts about it.



i got a cbr 1100 black hawk oil cooler on ebay for about $40 (but any cbr 1100 oil cooler will work) i flushed it out and zip tied it to the upper frame bars right behind the steering stem (i plan on making mounting brackets) and i figured out that i had to make my return line to my oil tank about 3 inches longer so i maid a line (luckily a had the right size line and fittings) but you can get the right size line at most parts stores. and i hooked that line up and then i had to bend the line from the engine to the oil cooler about a half an inch or so and hooked that line up and now i have a oil cooler that is about twice the size of my old stock oil cooler

see attached pics

how much extra oil do yah use lol =p and do you think your 400ex oil coolerwould bolt on to a 250ex?

[Wheelie]

Mine holds about 6oz extra.

Dimensions of the stock 400ex cooler:

10" wide--2.5" tall--1 1/4" thick 5 pass


CBR1100 Cooler:

12" wide--3 3/4" tall--1 1/4" thick 8 pass.

jr would you mind posting a picture of your whole quad. Just seems like a pretty cool machine. Though i have prolly seen it before.
Thanks Drew

how much cooler does it run? any idea? is there a noticeable difference? Let me know, and thanks for posting.

[Wheelie]

There is a noticable difference in the operating temperature of the machine. Unfortunately I didn't record the before and after temps for an accurate comparison.

07250ex do you mean will the stock 400 cooler fit on the 250 if that is what you are asking then yes i actualy mounted my old one on my buddys ex with some small brackets all you need is a drill and a vise.

i don't have it done yet but i will in a week or so here is a pic i took about a week ago.

will the cbr 1100 black bird oil cooler lines work insted of modifing the 400ex ones ?

[j450rking]

i don't know i never had them i just had the cooler.

[apachepride]

ive searched and didnt see if any one has tried a GSXR1000 oil cooler i know ill have to fab some brackets but what do you think this is an 03-05

[muddy maki]

so the cbr uses the same mounting flanges as the stock 400ex cooler?

WOW!!! this thread is from 07.

I tried telling a few people about the cbr oil cooler mod.

They didnt believe me....lol.

Even if it doesnt bolt right up making brackets is a easy process.
