[QUOTE="GMAK, post: 1430183, member: 17060"] You know, I'm really just trying to understand here... I'm not trying to be argumentative, but why does an "oil cooler" contain coolant hose connections ? And why didn't the fiche identify that unit as "oil cooler"? SLK50 sent me a Bike Bandit URL identifying that unit as an oil cooler. The URL I referenced most recently is Yamaha OEM. I would think it would be complete. If it's an oil cooler, it's unlike any oil cooler I've ever seen. Those connected hoses are not of the quality/strength for oil passage. Every external oil line I've ever seen was built with end fittings for connection, and metal/fiberglass reinforced hose material for strength. What am I missing here? Thank you. [/QUOTE]
