xj 750 oil cooler options

i don't think i ever read about a xj that spun a bearing and scored a piston because the oil over heated and broke down
but if you want one, that's cool.............cool

 

It's definitely not as good as it used to be, but it rides much better than the original fork. Tight spaces are little hard but I'm getting use to it.

 

There was that one. The one at the H-D bike rally somewhere in Europe where they drained the oil and revved the piss out of the engine until it caught fire (after 30 minutes).

The video was linked here somewhere, about 5 years ago.

 

I remember that. They were quite shocked and angry that the xj survived longer at higher revs without oil than a Harley could at normal revs with oil.

 

I have a '81 XJ 550 Seca and Really would like to add an oil cooler - any suggestions where I can find a oil cooler kit?
Will oil coolers from other XJ work?
Thx

 

www.xj4ever.com has the kits

 

Thank you - just looked on his site - the price for oil cooler kit is about the same price I paid for the bike - lol

 

C'est la vie....

 

The FZ600 oil cooler assembly hose lengths are too short for where the cooler is mounted on the xj750. The hoses have crimped collars making them more difficult to remove. I had a local auto store that advertises custom hydraulic hose assemblies look at it and they did not feel they could replicate the custom steel parts and did not want to retrieve them from the assembly I brought in for fear of damaging. Young guys had no suggestions. Guy my age said, " take a whizzer and a vice and you can get those collars off." I went home, got out my whizzer (angle grinder), cut them in half being careful about depth, and used the vice to crush them off. Only slightly damaged the first custom steel piece while getting the hang of it. Was able to solder and file the damage. Now to increase the hose length by approximately 3" and done.

 

Thank you
