Whats brand do u use? I dont want a POS with hose clamps. Not sayin money is no object but I'm only gunna buy it once.

Grafixxs · 01-11-2009, 05:07 PM

TB oil cooler bud, they are nice coolers and nice price. No tacky hose clamps either.

what that guy ^^^^ said!

mxracer728 · 01-11-2009, 06:27 PM

Ditto what those two said. Can't go wrong with a TB(Trail Bikes) oil cooler.

moto234 · 01-11-2009, 06:41 PM

TB cooler all the way, its really nice. but be careful if you use a pressure washer lol it will bend all your fins real fast

whatever one you decide to get DONT get a billet one, ther are pretty much worthless, get a radiator type with all the fins. they provide lots of extra area for the heat to go to

Thats what I was leaning towards. I have their 88 race kit and never had problems. I have the breather tube now will this replace it? Do I add more oil? If so how much?

USMCRay · 01-11-2009, 07:56 PM

I think there is an adapter that goes on the head to run a cooler. I am sure someone on here will clarify this.

It does not replace your breather tube. On the clutch side of the motor it will have an adapter that goes on to the motor. The argument for or against oil coolers will go on forever; some are for them and some are not... it is up to what you want. I have one on my ride. As far as how much oil to add; mount up your cooler on your bike and cut your hose to the correct length, take your cooler back off, with the hoses attached to your oil cooler, hold it upside down and pump oil into one of the hoses until it comes out the other side; measure how much oil you used and this is how much you should add to the stock amount. (give or take a few ml)

Dude, change your avatar. This isn't a gay men's social networking site and it's creeping all the straight guys out.

unsignificant isn't a word.... trust me.

The debate WILL go on for oil coolers but properly built oil coolers HAVE been PROVEN to work..... so there ya go.

That... or you could just add a little extra oil..... start the bike to let it fill oil cooler.... and then just add oil to correct level on your dipstick.

Stock pitster radiator style duals for me. They work great for my street motard and have held up great even going down a few times at the track.

dood · 01-12-2009, 12:53 PM

sigh....

Twister773 · 01-12-2009, 01:05 PM

wondering if you would pop in here lol

CMS92 · 01-12-2009, 10:26 PM

If you get the TB cooler you'll need longer bolts than the stock ones that go to the new adapter plate that comes with the kit.I had the same cooler on mine and the stock bolts started to strip out because they were a bit short.

I'm not against them. I just see no use for them on a pit bike.

why is that? are the temps not high enough to bother with them?

HRC · 01-13-2009, 09:54 PM

I know a very reputable mechanic who tested a TB oil cooler and his bike ran a full 20 degrees cooler. Well worth the install... wouldn't ya's agree?

oil coolers are not a waste. they both cool the oil that comes out of the hot cylinder passage and gives you about 150 ccs of extra oil to burn or loose if something happens and you don't know it

head breathers are a waste, as the oil return passage on the underside of the cylinder does the same thing
