1100e running lean

[posplayr]

LOL.
posplayr, trevor has been around a while; I don't think he confuses cooling with carb tuning.

Just going off what was stated, going on a trip in the great nor west coast and having a stock 1100e hit the equiv of 300 deg f there is a problem Houston. An oil cooler is not going to change what is most likely a lean condition. If he knew how to fixit this thread would not have gotten started. Towit the comments fix the lean first the. Worry about the cooler later.

Not really a band-aid, the GS1100E were designed to have an oil cooler, they even have the connections to hook one up.

Yes, a band-aid. Treating the sympton ... not the cause!! (EXACTLY like the medical establishment, but that's for another thread! )

If you read my posts you will see that I'm fixing the jetting issue first. The oil cooler is lent to be just a bonus. Going on a trip to bamff two up riding with gear in 35-40 heat. Over a hundred degrees! I have said along I want the bike to run properly, then and only then will a cooler be going on! Sorry if I wasn't clear on that.
Thanks for the help guys,
Trevor
