They are POS,

Ive had 2 split in under a month now, just throw it away and get a solid type if you really wanna run a cooler,

If you seal it up it will just split again and piss your oil everywhere,

do u have a thermometer? one of those long probe type ones. check the oil temp after a hard ride and if its under 110deg, i wouldn't worry about the cooler. if it pushes 120 or over, get a cooler. i think u can get cheap thermometers from the supermarket. they'll be with the pots and pans and stuff.

You might have to play around getting the hoses to fit though on certain coolers,

Ive been running my 140cc without a cooler for months now and no dramas so far,

IMO they are more wank factor!

BUT REMEMBER YOU NEED TO LINK THE HOSES, DO NOT JUST BLOCK THE BOLTS OFF, YOU MUST RUN A LINK HOSE!!!

thx you all 4 the help ,, i would be lost with out all your help ,, if i go with out a cooler with hoses linked ,, will i need 1.1L oil or 0.8 L of oil in a 140cc motor ??? now i am thinking that i could make a oil cooler out of copper pipe ,, ?
