Talking about the 80/81/82 models mostly. Things changed a bit after that I do believe, just not sure when.

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.

Not so for the '82 1100 16-valve (EZ), correct? I mean the engine block is practically begging for one!

The 1100's had roller bearings on the crank, not the frictions ones like the 750s, so adding a oil cooler to an 1100 isn't a big deal. And no the engine block isn't really begging for one, it depends on how you ride the bike, if you like lots of rpms etc etc, then yes by all means get one.

gday mate, we ride in temps here in traffic in a city that has 46celcius, for 2 weeks on end, Adelaide Australia, (do the conversion) standard 1135ef in good condition, regular oil. and filter, with standard oil cooler is fine, just keep your fluids up, cos the bike will outlast you.

but engine cases are being cooled, by moving thru air, ? I think frying of stator would be coming from electrical input, and would only last for milliseconds.

I always felt like I'd like a little more cooling for my 850 in the 100F summer weather. I now have it, but on a different bike (gsx1100g - BIG oil cooler)
Of course I do like lots of rpms, but what I meant was that it was designed with installation of a cooler in mind (the two plugged holes on either side of the filter cover).

Yeah the two plugged holes is for an oil cooler. Like I said it's depends how you ride your bike. Gonna do some track racing, carrying a passenger alot, hot weather, lots of in town riding, those kind of things. Then install one, though just to install one because it has the means to have one, eh its up to you.

Suzuki originally planned on installing oil coolers on all of the early GS1000 models but, to save money and keep the price down, they chose not to.
Every single major motorcycle manufacturer after about 1986 has installed oil coolers on most of their models so it MUST be a bad idea. :-\\\
