    Ive been thinking on ways to make my new 510 run a cool as possible in the tight trails/slow riding etc.. I was thinking of putting an oil intercool in place of the oil line that goes from the oil filter to the top of the head. Im wondering if anyone has done this before? is it a good idea? Where can i buy miniature oil radiators for such an idea? Any imput greatly valued.

    Have you got the hi flow waterpump fitted? Factory specs say this can reduce water temp by 5 degrees and oil temp by 7...

    coolers

    i believe that there were several different sizes on the horseshoe coolers. you vent your number plate and rubber mount it around the steering head. was used by S. summers for years. a proven piece....

    If you are going pretty slow in the tight ST stuff I wonder if an intercooler will do much, ie lack of airflow. I would think a water pump upgrade, radiator cap up to say 1.8psi working radiator fans and engine ice etc should be up to the job. I have all original gear on my bike no fan or upgrades only a top quality coolant and have never had a boiling issue. I ride in Oz when it is often very hot and dusty, ride slow ST with lots of hills etc, weigh 250 pounds stripped (not a good look), so I wonder if you really need the extra weight, engineering etc?

    if you look at last years mx3 machines the TC450s had oil coolers on them. I did not see them on the 10 model race bikes (anyone seen them)

    but i agree with ghte, if set up properly (PS not to get in anyones britches,,,,with the oem louvers in place!!) and with good hoses, 1.8, evans or other high end coolant, good high end oil, and good fuel (mine is race gas mix 95% of the time) the bike should be fine even at slower speeds. mine has endured some very ugly stuff(trust me on that) with little trouble since getting her dialed in with all the good stuff.
