    Is this cooling line hooked up properly

    Got a GS1100S with this setup for a oil cooler.

    Not sure why the owner didn't hook up the hoses to the two blind plugs on either side of the filter cover.

    Anyway, is the oil being circulated at all with this hose hookup?

      assuming it is running to a cooler and the other side is returning from same, then the only Issue I see if how close the line is to the exhaust. Normally those lines run straight up and pass the exhaust between 1-2 and 3-4 along the frame.

      It may be all the same as other than being a bit unconventional there is no issue.

        I don't think oil goes thru the cooler with that setup normal for The 2 valve motors is hookup behind the cylinders of the oil pressure sensor. This requires a new piece to replace the casting that contains the sensor easy for someone in a machine shop to make. Where does the return go? no picture of that?... upon further inspection this is a 4 valve motor sorry... there is another thread on here i think about this and the filter cover.Anyone?

          It is not required with the way it is connected.

          Well, seeing as that is a stock cover there could be an issue with it not flowing to the cooler if there is no neck on the back side of the cover. That right hand side port needs to capture most of the flow and push it to the cooler. If the cooler is not getting warm, then that is likely the issue.

            there is something about blocking part of the filter cover a small oil passage to give 100% flow to the cooler does anyone know of this? It's been a long time since I saw that.As for routing I'd want to keep lines as far away from exhaust as possible even with braided lines. With the 2 valve motor it wasn't an issue...

              Doesnt apply to this setup; only if you use the right Banjo port

                Can you explain that further? I remember something about a small oil channel cast into the filter cover that had to be blocked? If there's a thread about it maybe post a link good info for everyone to have.

                        Nice 1000S; I guess you been at it a while. During that time frame I stayed away from motorcycles (too dangerous )

                        Back to your EZ; Like this pic of my ED; it can be a daunting site .
