I know there is a lot of people talking about them, oil coolers, in some pics I seen , some lines were in the oil filter cover, and some in the ports next to it, witch is best and why? , any pics you have of yours will be nice , an other then earls, does any Suzuki bikes have a good one to use ??
 
sorry 82/83 1100E with a 1290 , gsxr1100/bandit head , build crank
 
1150 stock cooler works really well. that is one that uses the engine case ports. I have a old lockheart phillips that is hooked to a filter cover that has been collecting dust for years.

how hot is your bike's oil getting?
 
Hi have a cumpffire R/R , Electrosport stator , and top end oiler ,
 
I used an oil cooler plumbed into the two take offs either side of the oil filter that are blanked off by the large bolts and and an 1150 oil filter cover. Works very well with no other modifications required.
 
He has a GSXR head which on a GS has the oil cooling feature largely disabled. I think but can't prove a top oiler would help with cooling if it was routed like the GSXR. But the GSXR had dual oil pumps, one for lube and one for cooling. I guess a temp gauge tells all....
 
That's the way to go AND you must use the 1150 cover so that oil flows through the cooler.

A series R/R is a good thing...but not for temp reduction.

Well since you're not shunting all that extra current though the stator generating extra heat it removes a heat generating source from the equation. Someone on here did teh work and gathered the numbers and found that going to the series R/R dropped oil temps by as much or more than adding an oil cooler.

The differances between a stock cover and a 1150 cover

The 1150 cooler lets some oil pass through the engine as not to over cool the oil.

I don't believe it. I did my own test, back to back over 30 miles of mixed riding, and saw no drop in oil temp. You are free to believe what you want though.

Agree. I haven't tried this by myself but even in theory the R/R can't make any significant change to oil temp. Based on generator output power maximum amount of heat that the stator can generate is around 300W. And that's in case where all generator power is burnt to heat in stator windings, nothing going to charging. So in reality difference between series R/R and traditional one is much smaller. 100W could be at right ballpark. For comparison total amount of heat generated by the engine at normal cruising speed is probably something like 10kW so no matter what the stator generates it won't change temperature balance much.
