Oil cooler?
Didn't notice the oil cooler on that bad boy. Where's it hidden?1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red
2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.Comment

A souped-up air-cooled bike doesn't need an oil cooler?1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

Chef1366 has a 1229 and with a aftermarket cooler he would still run hot (like hitting 300 degF). After getting a thicker 1150 cooler and putting a top end oiler on to the exhaust cams he got it under control.
With my 1166 I have also had some heating issues with a smaller 550 cooler (despite having HiPo gears and a TEO) but after putting in a series R/R I have no problems now.Comment

stock engine...
now i will say this,
my kawalski heats up really fast like 5 minutes or less.
it has a puny factory cooler...do i need a cooler or even a larger cooler?
YES
the liners are thin=mucho heat...
never had a heat issue with a stock GS engine.Comment

i think 300 is to high period.
i am talking about an un-bored stock cylinder with factory pistons.
oh,
and a 1229 is not stock

Dino oil breaks down severely about 240 degrees. Synthetic oils typically start to break down around 300 degrees. There is a reason why some oil temp gauges show these ranges... http://assets.bankspower.com/prod_im...oil-gauges.jpg
If you don't have the luxury of an oil temp gauge, at least run synthetic oil.Comment

Dino oil?
I recently had my first oil & filter change since buying my 1100EZ with 24k miles. I used dino oil because I read that using synthetic on older engines that were "brought up" on dino would cause the thinner synth to find minuscule oil leaks that wouldn't happen with the thicker dino.
Of course, if it was a new engine, I'd start it out right with synth. Any truth?1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red
