After a search of this site, I wanted to inquire about the different oil cooler options available.
The Mike's XS uses a standard Honda oil filter. This is attractive to me since I have a 07 XR650 that would use that same filter.
The other, Hugh's, uses the stock filter.
My question(s) are:
1) Is the oil cooler a useful modification?
2) Does the MXS cooler/Honda filter have any advantages or disadvantages over
the Hugh's set up with Yamaha stock filter.
I do not want to modify the bike for the sake of modifying it, so if the oil cooler is a useful upgrade, which of the two (subject to opinion) is preferable. Or, is this just throwing money at the bike?
Thanks for your thoughts....
