I read a few of the older post and they did not lead anywhere. I was wonder if there is a oil cooler available for the older gs500's?
any sort of kit for this add on etc.

thanks

Why?  :dunno_white:

Seriously, it is not needed.

Agreed -- it was added to the GS500F to aid in engine cooling because the fairing Tupperware Plastic Garbage reduced airflow around the motor at low speeds and made it run hot.

well i just thought it would provide longevity, and cool the dang thing down a bit, my oil runs between 220 and 235f..

your right cooler running is better but the oil cooler will not fit on the e models

You could always install a tranny cooler from whatever junkyard is close by.

I wouldn't want another possibility for a leak myself.

Apparently the gs isn't in need of a cooler provided you aren't running it in a hole in the Mojave. Wouldn't really matter then either ;)

You can rig up a cooler from tranny exchangers and plumb in a themometer but you'll want to keep the added oil volume in mind when doing changes. I wondered about adding a cooler myself, but since I've put 18,000 miles on a 10 year old gs with no issues (other than carburation) I think I'll leave well enough alone.
