[Toadz400]

umm...cool? how much did it cost and how did you hook it up?:confused:

[sparks400]

about 26 bucks with the oil cooler and i got all the lines and hardware off ebay, and the hose clamps, and the 3/8 transmissin cooler hose

you got a good deal, I'm getting a second cooler in a few days from a fellow exrider for 35 plus 5 for shipping.pics are greatly appreciated.thanks-darren

[UglyMotha™]

um cool and all but what exactly is the point of dual cooler, from the looks of your signature your motor appears to be in stock trim :confused:

[Toadz400]

haha...you know those scott grips really make it run a lot hotter, with all the HP they add!:blah:

[Diedrich]

i believe the gripper seat adds more horses than the grips:confused:

[44oEX]

glade to see you got it running right.

[brandonpeake]

i would like to see how you set it up
pics would be great
hey a cooler running motor would be good for anybodies bike

uh ya but don't forget that a too cool of a bike will actually loose horsepower there's a happy medium in there that you need to meet too hot= power loss, and too cool = power loss and i'm pretty sure that the engineers at honda designed the oil cooler to be more than enough for the bike seeing that's what they were hired to do, just some food for thought cause cool isn't always better

This is what it looks like. sorry about the pic quality.
Now I have a home made secondary cooler that works like the FST only I made it myself.

[brandonpeake]

good point,
do you think this would be as effective as the fst or the desert toyz one?

[Bean]

really, cooler oil isnt cooling the motor down a WHOLE lot, it is just pushing cooler oil on the cam, and other rotating parts on the motor, cooler oil on moving parts means longer lasting motor

i got the pics

To do this u get another line ( 3/8 rubber transmission cooler line),and 4 more screws that size up to the ones that connect the lines to the oil cooler and to cut the fittings off the stock lines, the silver one, the one that goes on to the oil tank, and the 2 ones that have 2 bolts goin in to them, now remember u need two oil cooler setups, take the rubber line and measure it up from the oil tank to the str8 adaptor that comes off the 2nd oil cooler, cut it, now put the silver fitting on to the rubber line u will need to have a small 3/8 clamp and screw it down as tight as u can just about get it,get a bigger(13-32mm says it on the clamp) clamp and slide it on, now take some extra oil rub it on the end of the oil tank fitting and slide it into the rubber until the one end is all covered, now slide the bigger clamp up and tighten it, forgot to add amke sure all but the oil tank fitting has o-rings, now measure up the extra hose to the 2 crooked adaptors, slide 2 bigger clamps on, now take some oil rub it on the end of the 2 bolt fitting and slide them in and tighten the clamps.

[Chanman420q]

so the oil flows from the first cooler, to the second cooler then to the motor? or is it flowing from the motor to the 1st cooler to the motor then to the 2nd cooler?

[speedy400]

wouldnt the zip ties melt or break?
also, could you grab one more pic if you can from the other side if you can? thanks. well done.-darren

[Toadz400]

Besides the zip ties melting or breaking, shouldn't you make a shield for it since it's right in the front and open for damage? Also maybe putting some more zip ties on there or making your own mounts would be a good idea to make sure it doesn't get loose.

[sparks400]

the zip ties are just for now im goin to make some mounts soon, darren the oil flows from the first to the second then to the motor, im goin to make a grill that has holes it for airflow, ill take the pic for the other side tomorrow, i cant right now because its a tight squezz in my garage, thanks for the well done darren

[ridefastrgetoff]

If so, you might save yourself the trouble of having that second cooler but since you've already got it on hope it gives you much better service. www.SyntheticsExcel.com

[UglyMotha™]

hmm, could you possibly eloborate i'm not seeing here how a secondary oil cooler could have any effect on synthetic oil but i'm assuming you must be kevin

[pnut420]

I cant believe how caught up some people are with synthetic oils, I m not a believer that it is going to cool your bike anymore, just doesnt make sense. I have a oil temp gauge, so Ill run my regular oil see the recordings, then drain it real good and put synthetic in and see if their is any diff, I dont expect any... And synthetic cost alot of $, I would out that towards more frequent oil changes..

[cals400ex]

i don't really expect the temp to drop with synthetic either. however, i know my bike shifts smoother with it.

[ridefastrgetoff]

has been tested and documented for over 15 yrs. now that engine / tranny temps can be reduced 20-50 degrees just by going to synthetic oil and some synthetics are better than others. As you said, smoother shifting is just one positive, significantly reduced wear and longer drains without sacrificing protection is yet another. Guys, I'm not trying to sell you on synthetics, just saying that I've worked with synthetics for over 11 yrs. now and it flat works better than petros. With longer drains, it's not any more expensive either, in fact, depending on your riding, it might be cheaper than petroleum. Don't just look at the initial cost, look at the life-cycle of the oil and then determine how much it's costing.

[sparks400]

i might try syntheic on my next oil change thanks for the advice, i just got fabin up a grill ill put the pic asap.

[pnut420]

It might help drop trannie temp which is cool, but Im just a believer in regular Motul oil, I beat my stock engine for a year and rode is some pretty high temps and didnt change my oild the whole year, I know I should have, but just didnt have the money while in college, my engine and transmission were still good, then I tore it apart to do a 426...

[ridefastrgetoff]

Yeah, sometimes money is hard to come by when in school, lord knows I remember those days ( Mac / Cheese and Ramen Noodles ) haha. Just another story of the awesome protection of synthetic oil; there's a high probability that had you gone that long with petros you would have greatly regretted it.
