    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.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. 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.

Hi everyone
I'm looking for info on GSXR oilcoolers. What year bikes ran oilcoolers. Can I mount one on a 82 GS1100E. I have a 85 GS1150 oilcooler on it now with my upgrades it still runs hot in the summer. Looking for a bigger oilcooler. Rebuilding bike again for more HP and don't want to overheat anymore. The bike runs about 280 degrees normal. Thanks for any help on this matter.

The oil cooled bikes were from 85-91. 92 and up were liquid cooled.

Does it fit? No idea. The GSXR cooler is HUGE compared to a conventional cooler. I had an 86 750 and the cooler must have been 13"-14" wide and 8"-9" deep. Definitely more capacity than your existing one.

Just for thought, you are not limited to a bike cooler, any oil cooler will work and really all they are is an air to liquid heat exchanger. So check out tranny coolers and automotive oil coolers if you want more capacity and are having a hard time finding a bike one.

That said, the GSXR ones will have a bunch more capacity and should be findable on E-bay or a wrecking yard.

Want a cheap one use an old ford power steering cooler, small easy to mount, about $3 at a junk yard

the new bandits are oil cooled also

Any of the 96+ Bandits are oil cooled and so are all the late model Katanas.

I think that the early GSRX'ers oil coolers would be overkill on a GS 1100 as the early GSX'ers were oil cooled with a much greater capacity for cooling ( note the tiny fins on an early GSX'ers head and cylinder)than a GS 1100 needs, I've used lockhart coolers with a thermostat on my GS's, I'm sorry to say I don't know if they still make coolers anymore
