how do I fit an oil cooler help please

[woody1968]

Dear all, any help advise and piping diagrams for how to fit an oil cooler to my Z900 please.
I have picked up myself a hyabusa oil cooler rad and want to find out how I fit it, I have just rebuild my engine using some original Acorn Four race pistons and I think that it may need the oil cooler so am going for this.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
email if you like @ woody1968@gmail.com
thanks
John

Usually, the oil pressure switch unit (located behind the barrels, under the cam chain adjuster) is replaced with a 2 x take off which is then connected to the oil cooler

You would then require the hoses & fittings to suit - Debbens could provide these or you could try -

you can route the pipes in a number of ways..................

There has been various discussion on which way up to mount your cooler. If you mount it with the fittings on top, there will be a lot less oil to 'drain back', making it kinder to the engine on start up.

Wot bear syas - plus your overall engine oil capacity is increased a bit
