I do a lot of trail riding and figure it cant hurt. Anything to help cool things down....</end quote></div>
Yeah, well I have had several 350's, and never had any problems with over- heating. I only trail ride, and we ride all types of trails.....slow, fast, mud, etc. If anything, the 350 over-heats less than any other quad I have ever seen.
The problem with an oil cooler is that you have external lines and the cooler itself that are subject to punctures & damage by branches. If you get a hole in the oil lines or the cooler, that could ruin a day's ride.
Also the oil cooler's main purpose isn't to keep the engine cooler. It's main purpose is to keep the oil from getting too hot and breaking down it's viscocity.
Unless you're hauling heavy loads or plowing, I would save that $100 for something more useful.
