Dirtbike oil cooler?

hello i am wondering if anyone knows if i could make an oil cooler for my 1995 xr80r because i have seen them on other years but don't know how it would work so if anyone knows how to make an oil cooler for my bike because it gets pretty hot due to me being 180 pounds on a small bike,it would be truly appreciated.Dirtbike oil cooler?
I don't know of anyone currently making an oil cooler for the XR80. Takegawa did make one for the XR100 which should work for the 80, but I haven't seen it listed for awhile.





Now most of the coolers sold are for the horizontal engines (CRF 50/70 KLX110, etc). These work off the head, and would be a VERY bad idea on your 80. To make a cooler work properly on the CRF/XR 80 and 100 you'll need to tap into the engine near the oil pump, or through the cylinder into the passage going to the head.





A cooler is usually not necessary - if you change the oil frequently and run a good quality motorcycle oil (not automotive oil) - then engine heat is normal and won't hurt the bike.





The only time I recommend an aftermarket oil cooler is if the bike loses power when it's hot, and gets harder to shift. If the bike isn't doing this, then a cooler won't really do much.

Garfield - it's an air-cooled single - no radiator, and no external oil lines.Dirtbike oil cooler?
If it has an external oil line you could remove the line and add the cooler there. Just set up the radiator so the oil stays in it when the engine is off. Otherwise if it drains back it will take to long to fill up before the oil pumps to the engine.
