If you have the option to use either on your application, we recommend using the frame mounted bracket setup. It is best to locate a spot on the bike that is towards the front of the bike where air will travel across the cooler as the bike is traveling forward.
Once a good spot has been located, attach your mounting bracket of choice. Only hand tighten the cylinder studs or the hose clamp provided for the other mounting bracket. Please note that the cooler can be installed upside down if necessary, the oil lines can be at the top or bottom of the cooler.
Turn the wheel lock to lock and compress the suspension fully making sure nothing will come in contact with the cooler or the lines. If everything looks like it is going to clear, proceed to step 2. Step 2. Mount the oil cooler in the selected location using the mounting bracket of choice.
The illustration above shows the cooler being mounted with the bracket that slips over the cylinder studs. Be sure to re-torque the cylinder studs to your manufactures specification if you choose this method. The torque rating is 8ft lbs for a factory Honda engine. The illustration below shows the oil cooler mounted to the frame using the other bracket provided. This mounting bracket is attached to the frame using a hose clamp and is the better choice if it can be used on your application.
For a stronger and more reliable mount you can also drill and tap a hole in the frame. The bracket has a clearance hole in it already. This would be the preferred mounting method if applicable. Step 3. Remove the right hand side cylinder head cover it is the one near the spark plug held in with 3 bolts The center bolt runs all the way through the head to the other side, hold the cover on the opposite side when removing the long center bolt.
Once the head cover is removed, remove the old gasket and clean off any oil from the sealing surface on the head. At this time select the new gasket from the two that are provided in the kit. You need to check the gasket against the head plate to see which one aligns with the holes and passages on your application. Next, prepare the oil cooler taps to be installed into the new head tap plate provided with the kit.

ATVs have lots of different uses, from towing a boat around the property to using on a hunting trip with your friends. Since they go off road, parts tend to get dirty easily, including the oil cooler. If the cooler is allowed to stay dirty, then the oil cooler won't be effective, which can lead to problems with the engine.
This process should be done as routine maintenance or when the ATV gets extremely dirty after a big trip. Great deal for some but I know it can be done a lot cheaper.
It comes with hose and clamps and the black zip binders for mounting the cooler. This one measures 12"x5. The mounts were the tricky part BUT simple. The upper mount is made with three strips of aluminum, two are bent to a roughly 70 degree angle for the horizontal strip to rivet across where the cooler will mount. They bolt directly to the frame where the two black wire harness clips clip into. The bottom is another strip bent to contour the cooler and bolted to the cross piece behind the bumper.
I opted to use a felt weather stripping between the mounts and cooler for vibration wear purposes. The kit comes with little foam squares that serve the same purpose. Once the cooler is mounted, it's time to adapt the oil line system. The mount is reinstalled upsidedown so that it bends upward. From the engine to the cooler and from the cooler back to the factory cooler and tighten with hose clamps.
Thinking mount ideas No drilling, taping or any other BS required. Originally posted by ae good job man. Not exactly but I did cut the flange off and mounted it upside down so that the tube bends upward. There is about a full inch and a quarter of tube to clamp the hose to.
Originally posted by blankenship hey how does it work i had the same style cooler hooked up plumed the same way but i could not figure out a good way to mount it Took me about three hours from getting the cooler home to finish. I'm going riding this weekend so I will get an update on performance. I'm sure you would need to put extra oil in it, but I don't think it would drop the pressure.
Originally posted by buck does anybody know about oil pressure? That looks a bit overkill. I mean the cooler I used will cool a 4 cylinder auto tranny.
