XL600 OIL COOLER bodge/mod

[meljordan]

Well in order to cure the hot head problem i have stuck an oil cooler on the xl.
The cooler is from an xt600 and has handy fitting eyes that make mounting a doddle.and the flexi pipes are standard 10mm heat resistent oil pipes. Total cost for parts is appx £40 plus mates rates for a welder...




The standard metel pipe gets cut in half and the flexi-pipe bolts straight on putting an extra loop in the system which goes through the oil cooler

Hey that looks neat, and it's in the same spot as mine. Did you add a thermostate unit of any kind?

As you can see i have a real problem with pic's but it is in my smugmug....
As to a thermometer i was going to use the spark plug thingy with my trailtech but in the end replaced the dipstick with one of these little fellers

Those thermometres are great, I've been using one for years, very useful.
But I was wondering about a thermostat (by which I mean something to send the oil through the cooler only when hot).
