Oil cooler ?? Gear ratio ??

Bill Hilly · 02-20-2021, 07:00 PM

I know I have been asking a lot of questions, so I will combine 2 questions in one thread.. I can't help but to think an oil cooler would be a wise investment , and have watched some videos of installation of the kits. It seems like the lines are probably about 1/4 inch inside diameter. Can this rob oil,from reaching the rockers, or decrease oil pressure of the motor. . Are these coolers subseptable to damage ,and possible leaks from gravel that may come off the front tire?.. My second question is would I be better to gear my bike up, not for additional top speed, but to allow 4th gear to be shifted into sooner, and held longer on long hills? I don't care about ever going any faster than 55, but I don't want to crawl up hills, nor do I want to over rev my motor in the lower gears.
