Q. How much cooler will my bike run?
A. You can expect a 20°F to 40°F drop in temperatures, depending on riding conditions.
Customer quote: "Before the cooler, my bike would see 225°F to 240°F regularly, the higher temps, especially at freeway speeds of 60 to 70 mph. I have the XR's Only oil temperature dipstick. Riding around on Saturday, it never got above 210°F!

Q. Do I need a by-pass valve (manual or thermostat operated)?
A. Not wishing to talk you out of the by-pass valve, here is my opinion and some info about the valves. The Jagg by-pass valve directs the oil away from the cooler when you are riding in cold temperatures. It does not shut the oil off going to the cooler, but opens a passage of less resistance for the oil to travel, thus bypassing the cooler. I would not recommend a by-pass valve unless you do a lot of your riding in cold temperatures. If I find myself riding in very cold weather, I put a strip of duct tape on the oil cooler guard to block the air. You can always add the valve to your bike later if you find that you need it.

A. Yes.

Q. Will this kit work with my FMF stainless pipes?
A. Yes.

Q. Is the oil line mounted too close to the exhaust pipe?
A. No. The oil line does not come close to the exhaust header/pipe. This is not a issue.

Q. How difficult is the installation?
A. The installation is fairly easy if you have basic mechanical skills. Each step in the instruction manual is fully illustrated and easy to follow. You should set aside about three hours for installation.

Q. Will I need to purchase anything to install the kit?
A. Maybe. The kit comes complete with everything needed with the exception of oil and tools. Some special tools and products are recommended for this installation: Tubing cutter or hacksaw, blue Loctite, fine metal file, emery cloth or fine sandpaper, and a torque wrench.
