    Oil filter Plate question

    82 1100 Katana

    I need to remove the oil filter plate to replace for oil cooler installation.
    Do I need to drain the oil, or is the filter above oil level?
    Thanks.

    What is acceptable oil pressure on that engine?

    If you have the bike on the center stand, get a floor jack under the engine/oil pan/exhaust crossover, using a wood block to not damage anything. Lift until the rear tire is on the ground. Remove the oil filter cover, you will lose a little oil, maybe 4-8 ounces. (Sorry, don’t know what that is in Canadian). Just did this earlier in the week changing, re-sealing the oil pressure sensor. So I’m assuming your 1100 TSCC engine (not and 8 V shaftie, right?) is similar enough to my 750 TSCC.

      You shouldn't be tapping the oil filter plate for oil cooler installation. There are two oil passage ports below the plate, which are the proper place to tap for an oil cooler.

      Regarding the oil filter spec, you can find that in the factory manual for the 1100.

        Thanks, no 16V chain.

          Not tapping anything, but you need to change or mod a filter cover to run a cooler.

            Correct. Easiest just to use an 1150 cover. Then no mods needed.

              Which is what I'm installing, reinstalling to be accurate.

                Why not also install an 1150 cooler and keep it all in the family? That's what I did, used the existing lines.

                Easy-peasy. This 1150 rider had too much to drink one night, and by the time he made it out to his bike, well, I was running 100 degrees cooler, him, not so much.

                  Already have everything to do the job, including new cooler.
