I installed an Earl's motorcycle cooler (which is pretty large as far as coolers go) on my 850 and measured the oil volume at 6 oz including the hoses.

To measure is to know.

Originally posted by rapidray View PostSorry Josh but I forgot who started this thread. I, personally, mount all of my oil coolers with the inlets UP so the oil stays in when I shut the bike off. Suzuki does it that way too so I trust them. Ray.That was on an 1100G tho, i noticed on my ES that there is much more room for the cooler. My concern was that of the already LOW pressure behind the oil, if it werent full or very close, you could cause the pump to cavatate, which would be badnews. I suppose tho, that people have been running these things for years, and I am a bit of a worry wart...lol

Josh, for cavitation to EVER happen on a GS1100E, you would have to be below 2 quarts of oil! Pro Stock bikes run with only 2 quarts but their pickup is re-worked. Remember this, the engine starts with the cooler empty & pushes all the air out of the system. Once that is done the air vents out the crankcase vent hole! Do yourself a favor & get the GS750 oil pump gears for your bike FIRST thing! Ray.
