hey guys im new here, and dont know my way around the site yet, ive read alot of great stuff on here, i just bought a oil cooler that i want to install on my brute, just wondered if any pics on here or steps of where to run hoses etc, im also ordering a performance waterpump, changing to synthetic oil, and flushing cooling system and adding engine ice, mine has always ran hot, fan runs 98% time, i wont know what its like to ride for hours at a time and not have my legs burning, dealer refused to do anything said it was normal, so im hoping with these few tips i'll be riding cooler, thanks i love this site

that site has alot of useful info on it including a step by step guide to installing everything needed for an oil cooler. just dont get too big of an oil cooler like i did. having colder oil doenst do much when you block the radiator and make the anti-freeze hotter.:tup:

don't add engine ice you should be fine with the other stuff.just put a toggle on your fan wire.if you run the ice and are out rideing and overheat witch you souldn't.... you can't add water to the ice

Had the same issues you did. I put an oil cooler and engine ice and that pretty much did it for me. I use nothing but Royal Purple as well.. saved my engine a while back and wouldnt use anything but..... Good luck
