Mods began on the Venom X22R 250

Your oil cooler kit included a finned canister labeled on ebay as a auxilary filter canister. Did you happen to measure the insides to find out what would fit,without causing overpressure of course. My thoughts are (if nothing better around) if it is larger than a stock screen to use a screen with smaller openings with the total area just over stock. A flow test could be done by pouring a measured amount of hot oil thru each and timing each. Thoughts? Thanks! Jack

Personally i wouldn't want to put anything that restrict the oil flow anymore. The pump is already handling the extra volume of oil to the cooler. The canister screen is the same as the on eon the engine. The centrifugal oil filer will catch all the fine stuff. I had check my centrifugal filter on my Hawk around 5000 miles and was surprise to how little dirt was in there.

This post from my now missing Hawk actually shows a larger filter canister that can be used to replace the screened canister (the much larger one is the filter) and shows the stainless steel mesh filter element. http://chinariders.net/showpost.php?...&postcount=300

It is not a very fine mesh, so it will still not filter fine particles, but it will catch things a bit smaller than the screen will and has a much larger area.

The catch is you have to be willing to deal with finding it and then ordering it through Taobao.

Personally, I would save your time and money and stick with the screen. The screen and oil spinner method has been used by Honda for decades on small engines, and is still being used on their 125cc bikes like the Grom. The spinner takes care of fine metallic particles, the screen protects the oil pump from larger metal particles, and the oil suspends the organic stuff. Just do regular oil changes and that motor will last quite a long time.

Believe me when I say that the oil cooler you have is actually way more than enough to do the job on these little motors. My Hawk runs a bit hotter than a typical dual sport and I run the exact same oil cooler. My oil struggles to get hot on cooler days, and rarely gets hot enough to get into the "Bad" range of oil temps unless I am sitting still for several minutes on a very hot day.

As Jerry said, leave the space open so air can get to the head and cylinder more freely. I mounted mine as high as I could on my Hawk to keep that space open. Pic if interested. https://ibb.co/Nrmp12C

The coolers on my Hawk are smaller than what we installed on our X22R. Those two cooler are about equal in size to one of our coolers.

That's why i hate to post links. They're constantly changing. A simple search on Ebay or Amazon will bring it up. https://www.ebay.com/itm/SUZUKI-2014...QAAOSw5R5dQa6x
