    oil cooler on a gs400?

    my bike seems to run REALLY hot... like the crank case covers get too hot to touch. (now, this is before i re-tuned it, so it may have been because cyl 2 was lean). i was pondering the possibility of adding an oil cooler to the bike. there are various plugs around the crank case. would those tap into the oil system or what? im thinking it may not be entirely easy to do this, but its always good to ask

    as far north as you are, you don't need one unless you do alot of extended slow running like in stop and go traffic.
    going up a size on the pilot jets and maybe a shim under the needle clips.

    with a oil cooler you risk other complications from reduced oil flow to crictical parts of the engine.

    with the 8 valve 1000 you can compensate with 750 oil pump drive gears, (boost flow) I do not know if this works with the 400.
