To cool or not to cool....

Fastfasulli · 03-Feb-2006, 16:12

Hi,

I'm Bike #24 in the 583s this year. I am toying wih the idea of buying an oil cooler. They seem to cost about £380 new so I wondered whether anyone here either has one or knows where I might purchase one 2nd hand (i've run a number of breakers with zero success) and not costing £380

Cheers

Franco

Seems pricey, I managed to pick on up for £80 or so and a few more quid for a fitting kit. There's no need to get a specific Ducati oil cooler, but the fitting kit maybe specific to the 583 (if they do one?????)

you can fit them to the 583's, but easier to fit to the later ones.
Shouldnt be paying more than £150 absolute tops, much less is better tho.
Shouldnt need one till after the first 2 rounds tho, as long as you are running good qual oil in the engine
Will ask AK later about good source for you.

Go to any breakers that are local, on my GSXR I have one from a GSX550, a lot of the earlier air cooled bikes had one and there are plenty in breakers yards

Don't be buying a new DP kit franco, it's way too pricey!
If you want something new then have a word with Baines Racing... they offered to make me a kit last year at a much more sensible price.

Or you could get a second hand oil rad of ye ol' faithful ebay and sort out your own bracket to hang it on. I've got some spare oil lines wot you can have v.v.cheap, then you'll need to buy the deflector for underneath the oil filter with I would think is only a couple of quid.

And Fil's right, you won't need one for cadwell, most likely not Brands either.
