Yamaha Oil coolers on built Motors

[South Bay 4 Life]

How many guys with built motors (686,720,760,etc) are throwing in a bigger oil cooler?

Thoughts?
Is it really needed?
Recommended brand?

I ran a Setrab on my Benchmark 686 race motor, per Chris' suggestion. Worked good.

We built our own kit for our race Teryx. We got the oil filter adaptor from Weller and a cooler, fan, and hoses from Kartek.

Troy,
I saw that one. How do you like it? Good price.

Is this the one you have?

We do run and sell Setrab coolers and I do recommend them as a brand. I like the oil temp at 210-220. You want it hot enough to boil off any condensation that accumilates in the engine.
Application depends on the vehicle and the usage.

thats the one. we have used about 3 of em on different vehicles. someone crossthreaded one of the bungs, on our end, and i was able to retap and save it. no complaints here, its still on my streetbike rhino in my avatar.

Thanks for the feedback- thanks Chris for your recommendation as well. I'll actually be headed down to Benchmark soon so you guys can install/tune my new motor.


I just bought a 720cc. I'm considering upgrading from the stock oil cooler. The last thing I need is over-heating issues. I already bought a Fluidyne radiator.


TCP has a bitchen oil cooler but its $300 + tax/shipping. Leaning towards the Derale oil cooler right now. Thinking under the hood like this:

you can use the stock rhino oil cooler, but get it away from the radiator and put a fan on it, it will work well.
