Hey guys, just bought an oil cooler and have a few q's about the install:

1. On the sandwich plate it says IN & OUT for the hoses, but has nothing on the cooler. Does it matter which hose goes on what side of the cooler or can it flow both ways?

2. Do I need to drain the oil to fit the sandwich plate or can I just change the filter and top up the oil?

3. Once its all connected do I need to crank the motor first or will it not make a difference due to the thermostat?

Thanks, Konect.

1. The cooler doesn't care what way it flows

2. You can fit the sandwich plate without dumping the oil but id recommend changing oil at the same time anyway (and also cleaning the lines and core before installation)

3. pull the plug off the cas and give it a crank for 20 seconds or so, then check the level and top it up before starting it

What do you suggest cleaning the lines with and core with ? It is second hand so has oil and crap all over it.

      Nah, shouldn't have made any difference. Reds on, or car running, should be same same for what you were doing.

      Should be able to source 200 cell R32 cat... unsure how easy it would be to get it to Malta though.

      I've owned a few scooters over the years, a Vespa PX oil burner was my first scooter, followed by a few others, including a little 50cc BeeWee that I used as a barracks bike, and I've had a blast on all of them, they really are the cheapest for of city/suburb transport around The only issue with scooters in Australia is lots of people look down on them due to their size,  maybe they need a big bike to make up for something else where they are lacking, unlike Europe and Asia where every man an their dog owns one, and now that filtering is legal in NSW, local traffic is never a issue Not to say I haven't owned my share of big cc bikes over the years, but they were for more blasting through the hills or Hwy riding where it needed to sit on Hwy speeds Safety wise, I ride like everyone is always trying to kill me, everyone is running a red, or running stop/give way signs, or generally asleep at the wheel, which most people are duringtheir commute, I also ride really safe, and give myself, and everyone else enough room in case I need to pull some hasty evasive actions, I've done a few rider training days over the years, which has come in handy on more than a few occasions  As for mods, there's nothing really, and yes your right about aftermarket exhaust, all you get is loud and obnoxious noises from them, like every 250-300 cc you hear with a aftermarket muffler, in saying this I did put a rear muffler from a 125 Aprilla on one of my old 125 scooters, it was horrendous and no amount of full face helmet and ear plugs would dampen that noise As for coming from the Harley, and what a overpriced POS that was, I no longer do big rides as my poor old busted joints ache after about 1/2 an hour of riding, long cruises are so much more enjoyable now in a car, so a big bike would be pointless
