Oil temp / cooler

[schinae]

Is anyone running a big bore 1100 4valve motor on the street. If so what size motor and what type of oil temps is the bike running. Are you using 10-40 semi synth. or have you switched to something like a 10-50 full synthetic.

I have not had any luck finding an oil cooler kit. Called schnitz, pingel, orient express, lockhart today and came up empty.

Those oil coolers pop up on ebay from time to time. I have also seen a few articles on how to build one using available parts.

For my 1100e I picked up a cooler (ebay), filter cover and banjo bolts (ron ayers) from an 1150. On either side of the filter cover on the block are two bolts that block oil ports. I hooked the cooler lines up to these using the bajo bolts. Worked like a charm.

When you used the 1150 plate, did you need to switch to a high volume oil pump gear?

I did not.

Nonetheless, my oil temps dropped by more than 15 degrees.

Ahem. Well I don't like blowing my own trumpet, but have a looky here and email me if you're interested! Cheers, Terry. :twisted: (Kooler King)

Earl's (the folks that make braided oil lines) have a couple different size coolers. They are not cheap but they are effective. My 1100ez temp dropped dramatically after I installed mine. I also use the 1150 cover and don't run the high output oil pump gears.

If you find one on ebay hopefully it will have bracket to mount cooler to bike.
I had to make my own.

Good luck.

Check this thread if the 1150 unit is not cool enough (sorry!) for you....

if you can score an 1150 set-up with lines & filter cover, its the easiest way to go. You will still need to fab up a bracket to bolt the cooler onto the 1100...the 2 holes in the frame don't line up (that would be too easy, eh?)
