Motorcycle oil cooler

Motorcycle oil coolers are used to cool motor oil. They reduce the risk of engine overheating and dampen the noise of the running power unit.

Types of oil cooling radiators of motorcycles

• Standard. They have 2 or 3 rows of plates, are lightweight and compact. They are fitted onto small street bikes.
• Large. They can have 10 or 17 rows. They have large dimensions and weigh a lot. At the same time, they feature high efficiency so they can reduce the risk of even powerful engine getting overheated. They are fitted onto sports vehicles which are constantly subjected to high loads.

Malfunctions: their causes and symptoms

• Cracks, deformation of the housing. They lead to the loss of air-tightness. As a rule, they appear after a collision. Besides, the component might fail because of slipshod repairs of other motorcycle parts attached nearby. Severe damage can be noticed with the naked eye. It is also possible to see the traces of oil in the place where the device is located.
• Clogging. In that case, an engine becomes very hot, its power reduces and dynamics gets worse. Riding uphill might be difficult. The component becomes clogged because of the dirt from the road getting inside of it.

Tips on how to maintain and replace motorcycle oil coolers

• The lifespan of the components isn’t limited, they have to be replaced when it is necessary.
