sv650 oil cooler question
 

Im putting a Gen 2 motor in my gen1 bike this weekend since I Dropped a valve and roasted my old motor.

My question is Since i dont have an oil cooler for this engine, can I just plug the oil line ports by the filter or do I have to do anything else? dont want to starve my motor of oil and I have a track day on thursday so dont have much time to get an oil cooler before then.

thanks!

Why not fit the oil cooler?!? (or are there rules in the formula for this?)

I plan on fitting one but I don't have one to use right now and I don't think ill have time to find one in time so I just want to bypass it temporarily until I get the cooler. Thanks for the reply.

I'm fairly sure you can just block the ports but not 100%. Perhaps a direct loop of hose would be prudent but like I say, I'm not 100%.

I agree with YC.

Just incase the oil flow through the cooler is meant to get to something after it's gone through the cooler....not worth the risk of blowing a motor up.

Try ask on svrider.

i would of thought if your tracking it your probably gonna want your oil cooler more than if you was riding on the road? i wouldnt wanna risk it without imho

Yes I agree, But I wont have an oil cooler before the track day. This all happend unexpectedly as usual. but I plan on purchasing a cooler asap

I think I have it sorted. I had to pull the oil plug behind the oil filter to open that oil passage up and plug off the oil line ports.

thanks for all your help guys!

NOW! I have another issue!

I cannot get the alternator rotor off the crankshaft!
Is there anyway to keep the the gen 2 rotor in the 2006 gen 2 engine? and make it work in my gen1 sv650?:confused:
