philwright Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Noticed a puddle of oil under my 88J slingshot this morning, looks like the oil cooler has sprung a leak at left side bottom corner, is there any tips on how to repair this or will i have to source a new one?...Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Gixer1460 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Radiator refurbisher could do it but they bloody hate oil coolers as the oil contaminates any welding / brazing / soldering. Maybe cheaper / easier to source secondhand ! Quote Link to comment

Thanks...yeah thats what i thought, there are a handful of used ones on the bay, will it have to be for a 750 or will an 1100 fit ? ,and is it a straightforward job to swap over?

I think they are the same - could check part numbers but they still could be the same even with different numbers ! Soak any fixings with WD40 / Penetrating oil before trying to undo anything as steel bolts into alloy will always pose problems - don't rush and don't reach for the hammers ! You will lose some oil (obvs) so be prepared so top up sump if a bottom fed cooler after fitting or fill a top fed cooler before spinning engine over without the plugs in - just makes sure everything is getting oil without load. 1 Quote Link to comment

philwright Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 Still struggling to find a replacement cooler for my bike, loads of coolers out there but most of them have the wrong distance between the top mounting hole centres - i'm looking for 11cm between centres most are less, i;m guessing the height of the cooler is less important than the width ( because of top mounting cooler line distance) ...there are a few 1100 curved coolers out there that might suit but would the curved cooler fit my bike, 88 gsxr750J ?
