oil cooler

where can I find a oil cooler for a 83 maxim 750

 

Ok does anyone know?

 

Find one from a seca turbo being parted out. You'll need to get the full adapter, hoses, and through bolt.

The Oil Cooler I put on my Max-750 came off a Seca900 Parts Bike.

Everything fit perfectly to the Oil Filter Housing and the Cooler and Lines don't need too much Fabrication to make them fit.

I had to move my stock horns and use the captives for bolting-up the lower-end of the cooler.
I put a thick rubber bushing in the Braze-on that's already in place on the Max.
You have to lower the Cooler about 12mm to make sure the tree don't come into contact with the top of it when the steering goes lock-to-lock.

Other than some simple stuff ... it was pretty-much a bolt-on and go.

 

I cant seem to find one...so I looked and search and found this.

since I will be switching to the spin on anyway...wouldn't this work...and a radiator assembly from the 80's FJ or Xj bikes work.

 

Before you buy that thing .... ask the seller you manufactures it and if all the parts you need come with it.

The OEM one comes with a center securing "Flange-Bolt" that secures the fixture to the block and is internally threaded to accept the Oil Filter Bolt.

Who makes it?
What else do you need?

 

is your oil overheating, then, dark one?

 

yeah a little, My engine has open exhaust and I have a cold air intake on my carbs...and the engine just seems to bake the oil a little.

 

You're not running too Lean and getting into an Overheating situation, are you?
Examine the Spark Plugs and see what they say about the Mixtures your are running.
If you are running it critically lean, the oil cooler isn't going to be enough cooling-off to offset the Lean condition.

 

the engine doesn't seem to be running lean, but then again...I need to test and see.

 

They tell me that synthetic oil will reduce the temp. I run amosoil in my 750. Just sayin.

 

don't think it's good for the clutch though.

 

There are a few synthetic oils designed to be used in wet clutch motorcycle applications.

The synthetic oil will NOT reduce the operating temperature.
The synthetic oil will resists breaking-down as rapidly as a conventional oil when exposed to high heat.

Be sure the oil you select if free of friction reducers.

All you have to do to determine if you bike is running critically lean is examine the Plugs.
If they are clean
If the Ceramic surrounding the Center Electrode shows evidence of hairline cracks. (Use a magnifying glass.)
If you have to add oil to the bike to make-up for what is being burned as a source of fuel from running too lean ...

Adjust the Mixture to increase the supplemental fuel from the Pilot Mixture Screws until the critically lean situation is relieved.

If the Lean condition cannot be adjusted-out with Pilot Mixture Screw adjustment ...
