oil cooler woes

[rossi46]

Hi Guys came home the other day to find oil spunking from the cooler!! I managed to run over some debris and think that's how it became damaged , I have got a local company re-coring it, still cost some dollar but way cheaper than a new one! anyways do I need to fill it with oil when re-fitting? weather is great hopefully back on the road this weekend

I would not pre-fill it. It's not in the mainstream anyway, also the temp. valve opens slowly once it's time for it.

+1.

 

Rossi, is your cooler fitted with the protective screen? (Seems they did away with it after a while).

thanks guys, Docc I did notice on some earlier models there is a cover but alas not on mine! Rossopuro one on its way!

My cover is now so fragile (rust etc) that it needs protecting...
