The Place

Anyone recommend/suggest a supplier of a oil cooler sandwich plate for GSXR 600 K7, though I believe the filter fits 600, 750 & 1000s from about 97 onwards so presume sandwich plate would also - thread size is M20x1 (I think)

Cheers

Tony baker does one to replace the standard water oil cooler

Dave if you mean taking an oilcooler feed from the intercooler ,dont. You will definatley loose oil pressure. Take the feed for an oilcooler from the ends of the crank as on the 1000 motors.

Geoff, on the 600 you can't take it from one end of the main oil gallery and back into the other end because there is no divider in the gallery, there is the same pressure at each end and there will be no flow.

Even on the 1000 the flow through the oil cooler isn't as good as it should be as the divider has a bleed hole and this cuts down the flow through the cooler.

I don't think a sandwich plate under the filter will be a problem, it seems to work OK on my Honda.

try mocal uk, they will give you two options, either a take off plate from the standard oil heat exchanger, or a sandwich option between the filter and case. Well thats for a Honda anyway im assuming the same rules apply

We had trouble with Steve Kershaws 600 Kieth , The oil light (with a 20psi switch ) was costantly flashing on with an oil cooler taken off the intercooler. They ran it with only the intercooler after it blew up with no problems. Our Ian told Steve he would have bother doing it that way as hed had trouble in the past with Yamaha motors loosing oil pressure. Ian still runs the standard set up with no problems .If you are running a cooler off the intercooler keep the pipes short.

I have never run an oil cooler from under the intercooler, I run mine from under the filter and I know mine runs at a good pressure all the time 'cos I've got it logged, but that is on a Honda.

Whether you think they work or not . . . I got some in stock

I see Aunty Wainwright has got her 4 penn'erth in.

And your problem with that is . . . . . . ????????

May I remind you Keith that the Roquefort season is only just beginning at Auntie Wainwright's

I was taking from said points at the TT and was logging in and out directly at the cooler aswell as sump temp logging and was getting 25 degrees drop from top to bottom of oil cooler so im guessing there must be a bit of flow Keith

to be fair dean, you dont need flow to get temp drop! one doesn't prove the other!

As dean said get a baker adapter instead of your water/ oil heat exchanger. Well designed race proven. My logging speaks volumes.
Oh and get his sump on aswell
