U2U Tonio

[Chaz]

Tonio we talked about this at CC if you remeber & IMO the lines you have going to the carbs are too small,one of my sponsors suplies these pipes & oil coolers I can ask him if he can do some lines for you that will also connect your carb heaters he is on holliday at the moment so bear with me.

Chass.

chass i also discussed this with froggy chap at assen

antoine just stop buying pretty bits and buy the oil cooler now

[Grib]

Do what I do, don't have any warning lights

Actually, the oil pressure switches are a known problem. When they start to go they flash intermittently.
Antoine - You can borrow the one off my spare engine to test that out if you like - I used it on the road monster when I bought that cos it had the same problem, so I know the switch is ok.

[phil_h]

That doesnt mean an oil cooler isnt a good idea, just that you will probably still have the problem after you fit it

Cheers people, it's good to see so many people trying to bring solutions...

Paul: haven't read your U2U yet, will do as soon as I finish that message
Chass: Could you ask your sponsor for a price all included? (cooler + lines) knowing I will get rid of the heating kit...
Alan: guess what, I'm not even sure I will fit the shiny belt covers, now I'm worried gravels or stuff like this could go into the belts... Soon for sale I guess...
Lucie: ... ... ... ... no way
Phil: now that's an idea. I will try using the switch from my road bike. But then I really don't think it's a switch problem, as it always gets on at the same moment, when the engine is very hot (after a race) and I'm slowly going back to the pits (so the engine is not really revving).

[phil_h]

I would be very interested in a kit price too Alan please, now I've seen the oil temp on the monster after a good session, I'm sure that the SS is even worse as it always revs high after a session - so I will be looking to sort them both out.
