    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Can a oil cooler be added to my GS1100?

Just wondering if anyone has had problems with a GS1100 overheating and has anyone added an after market oil cooler or is it even nesessary? Just curious.

Thanks.
 
Assuming it would be the shafty in your signature, yes, it's probaby possible, but hardly necessary. I can't imagine it getting hot enough in Canadia to need one.

By the way, even though you have de-K'd your bike, there are still some unique things about it that would make ordering parts for an 1100G difficult.
 
yes super ez. I just did it to my gs1100 . Use the search tool ( least used tool in everyone's tool box) in the upper right on the banner . I did not do a thermostat but there are oil coolers with them built in with bypasses. I added one as I am in traffic regular and like to bring the rev's up to the power band. Heres the result I got typing in GS1100G oil cooler in the tool. http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/search.php?searchid=1935804

We'll, here in Canadia it gets pretty hot. Last week we were at
42 degrees celsius =107.6 degrees fahrenheit

Oh and with humidity it's hotter. Also we drop to -35C in winter.
 
I'd skip the cooler and get some synthetic oil. It handles the heat better. Some of that 15W-50 that Earl likes would be a good choice.

You only THINK it's hotter because your body relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. In higher humidity, it doesn't work as well.
As far as engine cooling goes, temerature is temperature, humidity does not matter.

Next, you are probably going to try to convince us that it's colder when the wind blows.
Wrong again, temperature is temperature.

You sure do know Canadia weather, what Canadia states have you visited?
