Oil cooler on a 1972 CB500 K1. Should it stay or should it go?

<< < (2/2)

deltarider:
The 500 is quite healthy thermal and doesn't need an oilcooler. If you insist on having one, be sure it has a thermostat. If it doesn't have one, the oilcooler will do more harm than good.

matthewmosse:
Ooh, quite a pretty bike too, I have quite a soft spot for the green ones.

Bryanj:
Only needed it using big overbore, lumpy cam and lots of right wrist

Honda Al:
Thanks everyone for the advice. I think I might dump it then when I do the oil and filter change. Along with those rusty downpipes and muffler exhaust ;)

SteveD CB500K0:
By "dump", I'm assuming that you will offer it up here to a new deserving owner :)

This place thrives on free parts and (even freer) advice.
