If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

Oil cooler adapter question

I have an adapter plate for an oil cooler that I found and would like to put on my '78 GS750 racer. Which way is forward and also is there supposed to be a small pipe that plumbs up to the adapter from the case or does oil just splash up to it? Is there enough pressure to reach the cooler? please check the photo. Thanks

yes you need the pipe to capture from the center port and then return on the other.
 
You need another piece to go down into the oil distribution cavity and feed oil up to that center port. You can make one for yourself out of common plumbing hardware as long as you are handy with hand tools. Check out this tutorial for more details...

Thanks for the link! Question: By directing that port upward, does it affect the oiling that drains to the front of the engine seeing how there are two drain ports?

Adding an oil cooler into the system such as you are planning does not effect the oil drain back in any way. The adapter captures 100% of the oil flow BEFORE it enters the oil distribution cavity, routes it though the cooler, and then deposits the cool oil back into the distribution cavity where it then can go to feed the engine. The distribution cavity itself has two exit ports: one for the top end and a second for the bottom end. Oil drain back follows normal paths after it's done it's job in the engine.
