Terry's new "Telcool MK5" Oil Cooler Adapter!

G'Day Guys, well I got bored and decided to build a new oil cooler adapter for all the 750-1100 engines, the intent was to make an adapter which is easier to install, and more versatile regarding preferred hose routing.

What do you think? The price is still $75.00 plus $20.00 airmail from Oz to the US/Canada, but it may go up a few bucks soon, as my material costs have more than doubled in the four years that I've been selling these adapters, so my "margins" are getting a little thin, ha ha! Cheers, Terry.
 
Looking good (as usual), Terry! If I find myself in possession of an oil cooler I'll give you a shout!

Regards,
 
So, I can run my oil temp sending unit and the pressure switch off this adapter??? Looks much more compact than your previous offering. NICE WORK, Sir! Will be sending money soon enough. Thought I would have sent it by now, but the best laid plans......](*,)


Looks like using a 'T' fitting in place of the 90* on the back of the adapter would work....would need to find one with the proper thread size for the sending unit, but should not be a big deal!!

No worries Mike, I've already done a fitting for the oil temp sender, I just forgot to put it on for the pics. Cheers, Terry.

Hey Terry, this looks good. The one I got from you, Mk2 I think, is still going strong after a few years on the bike, but the compact design looks more like that skinny little original that some bikes had.

Thanks Kim, and yes, the new adapter looks vaguely similar to a well known (but sadly, no longer produced) aftermarket adapter, but I beefed it up with better quality brass (not "pot-metal") big bore fittings and thicker 6061 T6 billet alloy components, as I thought the original was somewhat, flimsy?

I'll be putting a complete "kit" with a used (but re-furbished) cooler, new hoses, clips, bracket etc on Ebay this weekend, look out for it! (my Ebay ID is "Netscrounger") Cheers, Terry.
 
A couple of questions

A couple of questions

Hey Terry. I am thinking of putting an oil cooler on my `77 GS750. I'm wondering how your adapter effects the oil flow. From where your adapter takes the oil out of the block, does it flow through the cooler first or the filter. Also, is there a place for a sender for an oil pressure gauge on the fitting?

Anyone know if Terry is still around? I'd like to find an adapter for my oil cooler project.
 
Hi,

Terry hasn't posted for quite a while. In fact, it seems his account has been deactivated or deleted. I don't know if he's re-joined under another user name.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
Alas!!!

Alas!!!

Well, if Terry is indeed inactive, I'll do my best to re-create the adapter.. If he still has the diagram / walkthru up, I'll look over it. As soon as I have a working model I'll post here, I was very interested in ordering two for myself, but it seems I'm out of luck. I just didn't want to do the legwork >_<

Ah well! I'll review whatever I can find, and I'll try to whip up my own in the coming weeks... Wherever Mr. Terry is, I hope he's doing well...
 
Hi,

A member "Nessism" has also machined a few adapters. I seem to recall he even put the drawings in the forum somewhere so that others could make them.

Oops! Oh look what I found on some guy's website. ;)

Lol, indeed - I was actually searching for the details on how to make em myself when I found him last night =] I'll buy my first one (so I have one that works) before I try to ruin one myself!

"Hey Terry, will this fit a 1982 GS 650L? If so, do you have installation instructions?

Thanks,
George"

Terry hasn't been on the forum in something like 10 years.

Installing an oil cooler adapter is pretty simple: remove old cover and install adapter instead. Hook up oil cooler hoses to adapter ports.
 
Hi Nessism, do you know of anyone who is currently making an oil cooler adapter for a 2 valve gs 750 motor ? now that Terry is no longer on the forum
 
Suzuki Performance Spares in the UK & eBay sells brand new cast aluminum GS oil cooler adapters with and without the sending unit hookup. They were quite pricey last I looked, but I bet with England voting to exit the European Union, exchange rates are working in our favor in the USA quite a bit at the moment.
 
Making your own adapter is pretty simple. Basscliff posted the link above for a tutorial I made.

If someone were to put an ad in the Parts Wanted forum there is a very good chance that someone here with a spare will spring into action and offer one up too.
