    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.

Removal of oil cooler... how?

My new project GS850GLZ has an oil cooler I think i want to remove. It's connected to two ports that come from the backside of the engine, under the cam chain tensioner - the oil pressure switch is in there as well.

What stock part (or adapter) is supposed to be there when the oil ports are not?? I can't seem to find this part on any OEM parts fiche. Does anyone have a picture of what I need? Or what do I search for on e-bay??

Thanks
 
Go to bikebandit.com, select your bike and find the "Crankcase" microfiche. It's part number 41. You'll also need the oil pressure switch if you don't already have one.
 
You should have no trouble selling the cooler for good $$ -- there are lots of goobers who think they need one on their shaftie.

Thanks for the input Brian - I think I'll just hold it for now, maybe use it down the road.

happy trails...

As an owner of a shaftie that had been wondering if maybe an oil cooler was a good idea: Why isn't it a good idea? I guess it could introduce additional points of failure, but beyond that...

Why would it being a shaft drive make a difference?

Not arguing, just seeking enlightenment.
Thanks!
