Hi,

when my warrior gets hot it wont shift wery well, i wanna keep it cooler and i know that i can buy an oil cooler. I have the cooler radiator and fittings and hoses but i dont know where the holes are drilled so i can hook it up. anybody with sum ideas please lemme know.

Thanks.

 

RaceWarrior, I've heard to for a do-it-yourselfer to go to a boneyard and purchase the oil filter cover from a wolverine. The wolverine has an oil cooler and already has the fitings and such in it. Possibly go to one of the places that show oem parts for the wolverine. Have a look at the crude drawing of this part and see if that helps ya. Good Luck!

I installed a oil cooler on a BearTracker, but it must use a Yamaha adapter plate. It has an output and input fitting for each hose. Unless Warriors or a like model have optional oil cooler in and out fittings, I dont think u can just slap a cooler on it. Check with a Yammie dealer.

 

I thought the wolverine would work and i read it would just get the filter cover and i got the cooler hook it up and be on ur way.... guess i gotta find a cover now.

 

You need the early model big bear oil filter cover with oil cooler take off ports, see my site for details and pictures.

You can also bring the Yamaha coolers into the engine through the clutch cover, like FST does with their Warrior oil cooler kit.

 

I just added an oil cooler to my 2003 Warrior. It is pretty easy if you don't mind drilling and tapping into your clutch cover. Old air cooled streeters have been doing this for years. You could even add an oil pressure guage if you wanted. I know where you can get the complete kit ready to install for $75.00. Email me for info.

 

RaceWarrior350- Did you ever fix the problem? I still have info on that oil cooler.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I need a link to a manafactuer of one of these things. No junk yards around here to dig in. Mine has the same overheat then cant shift problem, and i even jetted it pretty rich. Cant seem to find anything in a search engine though.

 

Sorry been busy guys no time to reply,

i still havnt done anything yet just waiting to hear from some more peeps on this. ran into another problem, keeps jumpin outa third gear after about 1/4 throttle. i hate this thing and ive put so much time into restoring it. im still looking to do that cooler so more help would be nice.

Thanks
