HAWK Dual oil cooler install & temp info
Installed my 2nd oil cooler today / Custom brackets ect.
Did a 10 mile run at 60 mph in 88 deg heat with 70 % humidity. My trail tech digital head temp rose to 320 deg tops with both coolers. The coolers are definitely doing their job. Temps will vary pending carbureter tuning rich/lean settings. Hope this info helps others with oil cooler questions. SOME PICS FUZZY Last edited by Riggs; 06-05-2018 at 06:58 AM. |

I often wonder when I see pics like this...
how big the still air eveolope produced by the interruption to the direct air flow over the motor is... if any.. theres the mudgurd in the centre then a kooler on each side thats alot of surface area to hamper the air flow before it reaches the motor.. the motor has to be in a lower pressure or air speed zone... ..

I concur Pete, The Mud guard is not there for show. I ride through some serious trails with mud up to 6" deep. The head was getting caked with mud without it. I would think the head temp gauge I installed would explain the cooling effect I am receiving from coolers. |

Nice job. Looks like you have yours mounted up pretty high just like mine so it doesn't really block the head. I want to get a head temp gauge myself. I know the coolers make a difference just from the look of the oil between oil changes. Not all black like it used to get before the coolers and more miles between oil changes. Are you leaving the tank plastic off? I got my coolers to fit right behind them.

Riggs, did you take any readings before you installed the oil cooler?

I was wondering how you were running it without a tank.

Did you install a valve cover model and an oil filter model, or both coolers in one spot?
I found these on amazon. A good bit cheaper than aliexpress for the oil filter model, but I hear the valve cover model is better as it cools the more critical head and top end parts better. Oil filter model no prime but only $60: https://amzn.to/37HAt61 Oil filter model with prime shipping: https://amzn.to/36AkiaE Valve Cover model: https://amzn.to/2QsEDZv |
