fj100 overheating in traffic any solutions??

Good instinct Peter, I agree with you. Remember our bikes are aircooled, not oil cooled. There has to be a point of diminishing returns when blocking airflow to the top of the cylinder head with a large oil cooler.
Oil coolers shed heat when air is flowing, but not so well in stop and go traffic.
If you want to reduce your cylinder head temps, again, fatten up your mixtures.

Is this real?? dont you have problems with air flow to back of engine which could create a larger issue?

I thought our bikes were air and oil cooled
In stop and go I have had no issues

If you'll also note that my oil cooler does not mount any higher then the OEM oil cooler
I use the OEM top mounts as stops for the new cooler

Hi do you recall the make and model of the oil cooler you have installed?

Mike, ccsct's last post on this forum was in Jan. 2016 so I don't think you will get a reply.

In the days before RPM offered their plug and play cooler upgrade, we used Setrab oil coolers.
