Oil Cooler Kit for Vader

RedCrowRides · 07-01-2018, 10:07 AM

Yet another question from me - I'm assuming the Vader does not come stock with an oil cooler ,so I'd like to add one right away both for the obvious cooling as well as to add just a smidge more oil capacity , which means it stays cleaner, longer .
Basically I just want to know if anyone wants to suggest a decent kit that has a decent price point ,I have found several on EBay that look okay that would appear to fit the Vader but want to make sure there isn't any issue as far as "take off" and return points on the Vader engine to plumb in a cooler and that they do exist.

Here is the one I am currently looking at , I ordered a Blue Vader so figured this one would fit the color scheme well : https://www.ebay.com/itm/blue-CNC-Oi...19.m1438.l2649

I ordered the same one (black) for my Hellcat. haven't got it yet tho.
Not even sure I have a place to mount it since my carb faces forward.
I might have to mount it in front of forks.

Bracket it to be right in front of the engine. Or... Bracket it up where the OEM air box used to be.

My intake/pod filter points out frontwards not much room where the airbox was.
I should of keep my intake pointing to the back like a pit bike. I don't want to change that now.

I might be able to get it in front of the engine, When I get it i'll post some pics.

Try mounting it low and under the carb. If the oil cooler isn't massive...

This is a photo of a grom... but you could do something similar.

Really want to see how this works out so I can copy you guys :P

You'll have to make a bracket if one doesn't come with...

I really am hoping that this item https://www.ebay.com/itm/26mm-Carb-M...72.m2749.l2649 will allow me to mount my mikuni so it is more or less in the stock orientation .Not knocking it but I really dont want my carb facing forward towards the front wheel. Basically even if I have to mount it at a "slant" facing the back of the bike I'd rather do that than straight forward ,I guess I'll see once the carb and spinner get here ( along with the Vader, supposedly going to ship July 15th, then 5 -6 days transit on top of that ,argh ).

You can mount the carb it facing back no problem. Thats standard

That adapter gave me an idea, if I can make one to mount the grom exhaust without bending the crap out of it. hmmm thanks for posting

RedCrowRides · 07-06-2018, 07:58 AM

Yeah cbrfxr67 , I ordered a Aodonly low mount exhaust for my Vader ,and I have read that it fits fine on Vaders from some people , and others have said it has to be heated and bent or other kinda craziness , so I don't know what the deal is gonna be when it gets here , but I 'll figure out how to make it work one way or another. So I feel ya on ideas /ways to get an exhaust fitted ,sure would be sweet if the Grom clones got popular enough for exhausts FOR them were available and we didnt have to finaggle Grom designs to work, but thems the breaks !

Aodonly will need some modification. The clone engines are based off the CRF50 engine. Exhaust port comes out at an angle. The grom exhausts exist directly down.

The exhaust I have was a direct bolt on. Look for Honda Z50, Honda Monkey, or Honda Dax exhausts (under exhausts to be specific). Cost the same as the Aodonly and should clear the ZS190 starter that is located at the bottom of the engine instead of at the top.
