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...

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.

GS1150 oil cooler on my 801100E

I hear tell that after you bolt the oil cooler and lines from an 1150 on to an older 1100E that you have to also swap out the oil filter cover. Is this true and if so Why? Just thought I'd ask since I have the oil cooler bolted on and havn't ridden it yet.
 
You need an 1150 filter cover to block off the flow of oil to divert it through the cooler.
Posplayr has some pictures to show the difference between the two covers.
I used a bolt with o-rings, washers, a nut and put it in the left bottom port under the cover.
 
Ok.

Ok.

I asume this does not somehow bypass the oil filter? I woner if I'll have a drop in oil preasure if I don't fix it right away.
 
Sorry about the small photo. The 1150 cover is shown on the right and has part of that corner blocked off.

I understand that the wrong filter cover will cause your engine to self-destruct. You need the 1150's filter cover if you want to run a oil cooler on the 1100. I'd pull the filter cover and take a picture of it. Upload it here, and we'll be able to tell you what cover you have.

My understanding is that without the 1150 filter cover there won't be much oil flow though the cooler. No risk to the engine but not much oil cooling will take place.
 
Actually the way it sits now, the cooler won't be doing much, since the oil isn't diverted to flow through it. The engine won't be damaged in any way, IMHO. I would use the 'search' function here to get a lot of info with pics, on this mod, since it has been covered several times. If/when you take the cooler off your bike, be sure to change the filter cover too, back to the stock one, to route the oil normally, and avoid a toasty engine.:)

EDIT: I see Nessism has already explained it. ;)
