Well, I got to thinking about oil cooler's and how the demand for bigger oil cooler's in atv's is something that some people feel are a nessescary mod.
So, I was looking at my EX oil cooler, Then I saw a cr80 radiator. The fins and tubing in both are almost the same size, I bet oil would flow through it just fine?
The radiator is thicker and overall bigger, the only obstical would be where to mount it, being that long ways is top to bottom instead of side to side like the EX oil cooler.
Which led me to thinking....?
With a taller but same sized type radiator "like a cr125 radiator" you could possibly eliminate the oil tank and oil cooler all together and fit the radiator in the same spot as the oil tank and oil cooler would have been.
The result would be weight loss with high flowing super cooled oil, you could even spal fan it!
So, anyone wanna try it? I would but my 400ex is no longer a 4 stroke:chinese:
What are your thought's and opinions?
