Alex Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Hello all. Are there any oil cooler upgrades available? I’ve seen earls do a extra wide cooler. Is there any advantage on using an-10 over an-8 fittings or am I just wasting time looking in to this. I have two mk1 bandits one tuned and one turbocharged both get hot sitting in traffic or flat out for to long. I am currently running aftermarket 19 row oil coolers on an-8. Thanks in advance alex.

Gixer1460 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Personally for main coolers, I've always gone for -10 lines if only for less restriction / better flow rate. Yes they'll get hot in traffic - answer is - don't sit in traffic LOL! I had a 300mm wide. 19 row on my Kawazuki that kept up most of the time sufficiently that over heating never worried me. And my 'big' engine just has a std. 'M' curved rad under the seat with an R6 fan added, which seemed to do ok, although as a 'road bike' it was never flat out for long. If I was worried, I think a top end / head cooler might be more of a benefit and I'd use -8 hose with that ! Quote Link to comment
clivegto Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I use a 19 row extra wide cooler -8 on my Turbo B12 engine with no overheating problems at all. So I would say yes it is worth it. Quote Link to comment
Dezza Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 It's easier to source AN8 coolers than AN10 equivalents. AN10 fittings are huge so look better but cost more and require more space so it's swings and roundabouts. Quote Link to comment
