Oil cooler for gs 1000 ET

[Kjeldsen01]

Hello from Denmark.

I hope someone on the site can help me.

I recently swappede my gs 750 for a non running gs 1000 ET.
I've got the bike running, but one of the PO's added a oil cooler to the bike (probably because of the massive Pinchler fairing).
I'm not sure how much oil I should add to the engine. Should I add the contents of the oil cooler to the amount listet in the workshop manual, or should I just stick to listet amount ?

First off, WELCOME to GSR!
With the addition of an oil cooler, all you really need to do is fill to the fill line,
start it a run it for a minute or two, turn it off, wait for the oil to drain back and re-check/top off the oil.

Basscliff will be along shortly for your official/unofficial welcome...
