Oil cooler help

[Sam-Jaffa]

Let's talk coolers 

I haven't a clue with aftermarket 

I bought an AN10 to suit my powerscreen some pipe and fittings but I've never made lines before 

I feel I have bought the wrong hose as it doesn't appear to go together right. could someone advise me on what hose and also the best fittings to use please cheers

I use an8 hose and get everything from torques. The angles you need will depend on motor, cooler, frame, top or bottom feed and possibly exhaust.

 

Putting them together is handy enough, loads of vids on youtube.

There a video,s on YouTube on how to assemble hoses ...

And if you look on Aeroquip website it shows all the different types of fittings and hose

The hose I bought is black braided outer rubber hose but seems that there's also nylon inner? I'm a bit lost

I use AN10 on my main cooler. If you mount the cooler after you have decided on your exhaust/sump combo you can then arrange the fittings so everything goes together with sufficient clearance before cutting the hoses to length. AN10 fittings are fairly bulky and doing this will help prevent cock ups and having to buy more hose if plan A doesn't work.

There are different hoses for different fluids, and different connectors to suit.

Off the top of my head I cant remember what the differences are with the fittings, but there are differences.

Im in the middle of making another 1200 bandit one, fiirst make the bracket and mount the cooler in the correct position with clearance for the forks on full lock.. Then you can see what type and angle of fittings you need to clear the exhausts

 

I can guaranteee, even though I have a big box of bits there will be one I have to buy as I wont have exactly the right fittings

You've got PTFE hose which uses different fittings, look at the locking collar;


Non PTFE lined hose uses these;

 

Personally I use a company called Motamec, they have all the fittings/lines and oil coolers. They are fantastic quality and much much cheaper than other well known makers. https://motamec.com/

There are 2 types of hose. Make sure you get the one that's compatible with fuel. 

I used an8 fittings and hose. Hardest bit imo is getting the cut hose end into the fiting

Found some used hose from my motomartin, as I thought I needed to by a 30 degree bend

lined it up with exhaust, then removed pipes to fit it all

need a new oil filter as well before revfitting the pipes

Cut the hoses to length with a 1 mm disc and masking tape,

all tightened up and fit spot on.

jusr waiting for a new filter before fitting the pipes

Ooooh ! The fashionista hose police will be on to you! Black AND blue fittings ! ! ! 

[fatblokeonbandit]

They were cheap, as I already had them

this bandit is being done as cheaply as possible as it will be sold to fund the overhaul of and old British non Suzuki that I had when I was 19

[Dezza]

My bike also has black hoses and blue/red/black fittings. Bollocks to the fashionista hose police

[spiderpig]

I've 3 black and one red blue
