    Hello  karst  nice project,you will not put  the ohlins forks?

    Thanks!

    the ohlins was from the previous owner, but the T-piece wasn’t straight so he sols it with the wheels..so I got aprilia rsv front fork (Nice black) and wheels, I think they will do the job :tu

    Morning,

    I have most off the parts now, got me an original oil-cooler and A RVS Laser performance exhaust system, I will put my yoshi pipe on it,  I shortened it A bit to get rit of damage, polished it up, needs A 2nd session but looks good allready. The aprilia tuono Rims will come round Christmas. So januari will start building up :banana:

    keep you Guys updated

    some pics of the exhaust:

    Ouch..

    What waxstat? Uhmm.. lemme get the box. "JP Group - Thermex 1114601210 bladibla Thermostat with seal 87 C". Probably for some random middle range car. Dunno, I just wanted a cheap thermostat to harvest the waxstat from. It was cheap, and even got a further reduction when I explained my plans.. :)

    skizzokat-diy-oilstat-01.jpg

    You CAN get just the separate waxstats, but only in bulk quantities. At least, that's what I found at the time.

    As for the welding.. The first time around welding actually went fine (apart form the pinholes obviuosly). Only the heat made it difficult to hold on to the torch even with thick gloves. Aluminium needs a lot of it and you really need a watercooled torch for tight spaces and continuous welding.

     

    During the work and especially lateron during the fixes I concluded that it would have saved me a lot of time and swearing if I'd started off with solid stock/fresh material. So next time (if there is one) it will either be made from 1 solid piece or at least a solid plate as a starting point. Difficult bit with that will be machining the rubber seal seat though.

    A bolt on design could work too in theory I guess, but you'd still need to drill some oil passages in the exact right positions, AND weld in the "blocking" bit if you cannot find an EFE oil filter cover.

    Oh.. @ Karst34, Sorry for hijacking your thread!  :$

    No problem mate we all can learn from this, Nice job :tu

    Plenty of aftermarket coolers available. I think FBOAB has a good idea with using some of the really good value ones from China. There seems little point in spending a fortune on one just because it has an 'Earls' or similar sticker on what was probably made in China anyway. Each to their own though:)

    Goodmorning,

    Ok where Should I look for these aftermarket coolers from China?

    Eblag or another site?

    FBOAB is an OSS member?

    Like Blubber stated, the need for an oil cooler (a small cooler is stock btw) on an EFE depends on the use of the bike. If you live in a rural place and don't have dence traffic to deal with -which cuts the cooling effect of airflow a lot- AND the engine is stock AND you don't twist the throttle to the stop at every opportunity, THEN you can do without an oil cooler.

    I live in a big city however, and riding my Kat with stock EFE engine through the stop-and-go traffic will heat it up to around 105 deg. C. even with the stock cooler. Recently fitted a large Bandit 1200 cooler which brought the temperature down a lot. BUT the flipside of fitting a large cooler is that it takes longer for the engine to reach working temp., or it may not get up to it at all. Which is not good for wear. So.. That's why I also fit an oil thermostat with fitting a large oil cooler on my GSX's.

    As for the plumbing side of things. The oil filter plate controls the way the oil flows, and so is a vital part of fitting a cooler. The EFE plate blocks oil flow to the filter element and redirects the flow to the take off points on either side of the oil filter plate . An earlier (ET/ESD) filter plate lets the oil flow through without redirecting.

    Mike does a better explanation here: https://www.theflyingbanana.com/oil-cooler.htm

    I've got 2 stock EFE coolers gathering dust I am willing to part with in exchange for money, but I suggest you first read up on the subject and decide what cooler you actually need. And also of course figure out what size of cooler will actually fit the layout of your bike best before splashing your cash.

     

    I had a MAC exhaust on my old (stolen) Kat. It was very cheap, and it was cheaply made. Very thinwall (but big diameter) tubes, which actually made it pretty light in overall weight. The fit to the exhaust ports and around the bottom of the engine was spot on. Didn't use the muffler (which was heavy and hardly had any sound baffling). I painted the new system before fitting because the black paint it came with was worse than I thought.

    What are the dimensions of the stock oil cooler? Then I can look for alternatives, Thanks in front for the info Guys :tu

    Any efe special on here MUST have an aftermarket oil cooler. Maybe a rule amendment is in order:)

    What are the best you’ll recomend for my EFE engine, or Go with A stock one?

    First things First, in januari I’ll Go to Jerryt with my bike and get the Aprilia front  fork and wheels in, clip-ons footpegs and the tank fitted.

    then install my new gsxr750w  carbs, get an exhaust ( ASK Jerryt)  get the electrics done and try to start-up the bike..so a long way to go :P

    bit by bit get all the good parts over the winter  :banana:

    I need an oil cooler if I read it, got The EFE plate I suppose, I live in A rural place but I won’t use the bike for easy riding, like to do Some track days and have A blast at sunday Rides with my friends.. So I think A bandit or GSX1400 oil cooler with thermostate is the best for me?!?
