fitting an oil cooler

#1 PostAuthor: lomi » Tue Jul 05, 2011 3:12 pm

I intend to fit an oil cooler to my Z1000 J3 where is the best place to take the oil feed from? Also other than a cooler and lines i presume i would need some kind of take off from wherever the oil feed will come from? Are these available to buy or is it something i would need made? Also what size cooler should i be looking for? Sorry for loads of questions but this is a modification i have no experience with at all.
cheers

The oil pipe block just goes in place of the standard Z1000J oil pressure switch on the uppper crankcase behind #3 cylinder. The touble with using the block off a Unitrack (GPz1100 A1/2) is that you loose the capability for the oil pressure switch as that is fitted under the oil pump (below crankcases) on these models. You shoud get the block/pipes/cooler from a GPz1100 B1/B2 as these have the switch still mounted on top of the block with the oil flow/return pipe mountings on it. Oil pipes route over the head and down to the cooler although there are options usng customs pipes to route it other ways. I have this on my Z1000 J2 and works just fine. Cheers Matt
