Hay all, may have stumbled into a very good condition water cooled 1100. I do not know too much about these. What should I look for? Major issues? Wait for an oil cooled bike? I know they have to be heavier, but my plan is an old school streetfighter build... Thank you...

Sweet

I just got both sides new from dealer

I went with the "blue"

Going with locktite 263. High strength oil tolerant and temps to 360f.

Man, I have cleaned this so well in the past. The red says its has to be heated to 500f to be removed. I wonder if the crank gets that hot. Its in an oil bath. Going to try some Gurls blouse green. I hear it's almost permanent.

Had the starter clutch bolts loosen up on me. Again. Been using red lock tite. Obviously not good enough... Suggestions?

Mls. Never buy another head gasket.

How much oil should I have in an 1100e? Book says 3200cc. I never see any oil in the window.

This was a larger cooler. 13 row. About 40% more volume than than the lockart I had on there. The curved will give me some clearance and more surface area. I'm hoping 5f to 10f in city riding.

So, I finally rigged up a bracket for a curved oil cooler. Bought it without checking for a mount. Little backyard and beer engineering.

Found it!!!! Coming out of the bolt at 9 oclock. The one that goes into the upper part of the lower case. I cleaned it and just let it run until it got hot, then got a flow from the bolt. Added a sealing washer that are used on the valve cover.. that did not work. Took bolt out and put some yamabond on the first 5mm behind the head, screwe'd it back in. Will check it tomorrow.....

Dry at the glass. Replaced that too. Thanks

Hay all, here's the deal. My 1100e has had a oil leak at the bottom rear of the clutch cover for probably 18 gasket changes. Stock gaskets, vesrah gaskets, cometic gaskets. I've used yamabond and black rtv. Done exactly what the manual says about the 50mm of gasket sealer at the case halves. Done sealer all the way around both sides of gasket. Literally have tried everything. Ride for 15 miles, bam, seeping front the bottom rear near brake pedal. Almost seams like it's coming through the cover bolts. Has a Barnett clutch kit and Barnett springs. Anyone dealt with this before????
