been meaning to do this but don't know how.
on the right hand side of the engine is a domed nut cover that I am guess is some oil take off - inlet or outlet?
but not found a second point to connect from the cooler.
anyone got photos and parts info, on what is to be done?
and what engine to take a cooler from?
from photos I have seen, the cooler is mounter just below the head stock so what stops the oil from the cooler emptying into the engine?
thanks.

fitting an oil cooler A1 engine

Best method for a cooler is to use the takeoffs at the pressure switch 
This is located centrally at the rear base of the cylinder barrels, just below the cam chain tensioner
You will need to either adapt the pressure switch housing, or track down some take offs (eBay or Debbens or BSR...etc).
Run the cooler with the lines exiting the top of the matrix and when running for the first time, start engine for 30 seconds to fill cooler then ercheck oil level... its that easy

GPz's take off's are very different to what you will need on an Z1000 'A' engine. You could use the cooler & hoses though.
You might want to consider fitting one of these oil cooler thermostat's so you don't run too cool. http://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/p3481 ... _info.html
I would also like to know (for myself as well). Is the standard oil pump 'man enough' to pump the oil through a cooler as well, or would it be better to fit the oil pump from a GPz

May work out to be the cheapest at around £53
I haven't asked about shipping.
