Oil cooler

[Ol,fart]

Does anyone have a link for the valve cover type cg oil coolers. All of my searches find the sump type but having problems finding the valve cover type.

I think it might be you. The links worked fine for me. Are you using a phone by chance?

I guess. I tried Chrome and Explorer. It's a no go from my laptop

It didn't work on my phone or desktop using bing(yes I know but it's my wife computer default) but after it went to aliexpress I searched cg oil cooler and found it.

My computer does this with chrome too. One way around it is to hold shift and then click the link. When it opens it in a new tab it takes you to the actual link. Otherwise it just routes you to the main page, which is why you see clothes and shoes lol.

That Shift then click trick worked great.
It seems well engineered and complete. I gazed at it trying to convince myself I needed one but, it didn't happen. Won't be surprised if I get back to this after getting caught in a traffic jam in mid-August.

The oil cooler is one of those things that isn't necessary, but does make enough of a difference to make it worth it. Less clutch material in the oil and just smoother running when up to temp thanks to the more stable oil temps and reduced viscosity loss from the higher oil temps. I run 15w40 synthetic year round now instead of switching to 20w50 in the summer like I used to.

I try to avoid synthetic oil in anything with clutches although many partial appley torque converters demand it.

All I run in my bikes is synthetic. Never had a clutch issue in tens of thousands of miles. From my 190p Extra torquey vfr 1200, my 1975 Goldwing, Two Hawks, and a hand full of other bikes. Not one issue. No slipping, no damage, no accelerated wear.

Most oil issues with motorcycle clutches tend to happen because people used an automotive oil with friction modifiers like moly, which does cause harm to clutches.

Almost all of my experience is with automotive/truck transmissions. The wet clutch setups are similar though. Just going from my history.
