    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. 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.

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Oil Cooler hook up?

What up gang?

I was looking at some pictures of bike with a oil cooler system. I notice that some of them have oil lines running down to the oil filter cover and some are running to the back of the engine. What's the best way to run the lines, front or back? Thanks for your help.

Peace!

Oil coolers

Oil coolers

I have a related question:

I bought an '82 GS1100G a few years ago, that had a Lockhart oil cooler installed [exactly as on my '82 GS850G that I'd had '82 - '87]. Thinking I'd be riding my '81 GS850G a lot more than the 1100 [it's a good deal more comfortable], I had the oil cooler transferred to the 850. Now I'd like to get an oil cooler for the 1100, but cannot FIND ONE anywhere...????

Any ideas?

The 1100 coolers go to the front galleys that are blocked with 2 large bolts. The 1150's came with a cooler that bolts right up.. I just saw one on ebay last week. You can also run a plumbed cooler that feeds directly in to the oil filter cover. I have one of the plumbed ones in my parts box. i had not planned on selling it, but if you can't find one, let me know.

easiest to do is use the plumbing provided by the manufacturer.....ie ...the ones next to the filter cover. you can buy a complete kit from earls here:

http://www.earls.co.uk/earls/preassembled/oillinekits.html (select suzuki and 1100efe under model or kat1000...both same just with different size cooler)

and plumb in like so :

the ones you see plumbed in from the side are usually a gs1000 which doesnt have the galleries next to the cover and therefore use an adapter like so attached to the oil pressure sensor gallery like so:

I've been away from this site for a long time (2009 from memory) but I washed the dust off my GS1000E and did a little work on it lately, and I'm glad to be back.

I'm still making my original cooler adapters and complete cooler kits for GS Suzuki's and I've made quite a few for members here recently, if anyone would like one shoot me a PM. Cheers, Terry. ;D
