    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.

I installed a kerker oil cooler now my oil light stays on.
I first installed it with the pressure switch it came with but the light wouldn't go out below 3500 rpm.
I then installed Napa op6115 switch as per oil cooler how to. The light still stays on but goes out at 3000 rpm now. I looked up the Napa switch specs and its not a .5 to 2 psi switch, but I can't find a switch that is any ideas?

What bike, and how did you plumb the cooler into it? They're not all the same, some require a special block, some require a change made to the filter cap, etc... More info is required to answer your question.

the block looks like the stock one. The oil cooler is a period cooler so all the necessary hardware was included in the box. The hoses come out the right side of the block go up to the thermostat below the gas tank to the cooler no kinks I installed as per instructions included with piece.
 
Sounds like you are getting leakage into the oil feed line for the cooler; unless the oil pickup gets 100% of the oil out of the line the pressure light will not go out.

Does the oil cooler adapter have an extension that goes down into the oil distribution cavity and picks up the oil straight out of the feed port? Assuming it does, does the extension seal tightly down on the feed port? Is there any kind of seal between the adapter and the oil port?

Some photos will help too so we can see what's going on. Need to see the underside of the adapter thingie so we can see that extension piece that fits down in the feed line.
