Title: Oil cooler size and capabilities, HyperMotard?
Post by: stopintime on March 02, 2011, 01:30:43 PM
(yes, Ducati is making a HyperMotard)

I've got a HM cooler now - it was said to improve cooling - does it?

The size is 225 x 80 mm (didn't measure depth)
Is that larger than stock S2R coolers?

By chance, could you measure the distance between the two mount tabs?

Post by: BK_856er on March 02, 2011, 10:13:29 PM
Stock is 225x75x35mm with 6 rows.

It's the black that affords better cooling... 8)

I know  [drool] 85% better AFAIK.
The shop exchanged it for free, claiming better cooling as a result.
Maybe they are wrong, but I get a black cooler with rerouted lines out of it [thumbsup]
In my climate I've never really seen a need for the larger capacity anyway.
If it turns out I do - the EVO cooler might be next. Or the NCR 8)

How hot does it get there?   Why did you get a hypermotard cooler?
I have ridden in 105ºF here and never had a problem with over heating on my s2r800

I'm wondering the same thing.  Overcooling is not necessarily preferred, especially since the system is not thermostatted, but the HM coolers with alternate routing of the lines is a nice setup.

my air cooled bike runs hot, and if i want to improve upon it anymore, i'll not only want a bigger one, but will need a bigger one.

Febur oversized oil cooler for  Hypermotard (came out before the EVO):
(http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c88/mooner469/febur.jpg)

NCR oversized oil cooler for Hypermotard (via Desmoworks):
(http://www.desmoworks.com/images/NCR0400007-ncr-oilcooler.jpg)

SC-Project Hypermotard Oversize Oil Cooler (via Motovation):
(http://www.motovationusa.com/mvstore/images/D05-RD.jpg)

here's an interesting visual comparo - the stock sportclassic size (same as monsters i believe) with the NCR replacement (predecessor to the current curved model):

(http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c88/mooner469/oilcooler1.jpg)

Then there's the Febur version compared to Hypermotard '08 OEM cooler(that is the Febur for Hypermotard, with port for temp sensor, unlike NCR I believe):
(http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c88/mooner469/Feburvsstock1.jpg)

Wish I had the dims of the Hypermotard 1100 EVO/SP oil cooler. Part number is 54840931A, looks like MSRP is right about $370.


I've got to say, though, that I've always thought the 'hanging' oil coolers on certain SS's looked really pretty cool (I think carb models - hung from bottom valve cover on horizontal cylinder head, instead of above head from top valve cover - think MH900e) -- Gravel and debris be damned!
(http://www.bikez.biz/pictures/1997/38475/photo.jpg)
and an MH900e photo with screen/guard from ECS:
(http://ducatipartsblowout.com/catalog/carbon/mhe%20oil%20cooler%20screen.jpg)

But I want the Febur oversized model (FE 164) - has the triangular SBK shape:
(http://www.tpr-racing.nl/pics/fe164.jpg)

Sure would make carb fiddling easier and I think it would provide more 'clean' air to the vertical cylinder (much like the carbon intake ducts coming off the frame sides are supposed to do).

Motowheels has that one in stock, and the oversized Monster one (FE163) from Febur.

I've seen shots of people mounting up the 999's oil cooler to the hanging mount on SS's and it looks pretty good too (and is black, so not really visible)....

Or perhaps the low mount version from NCR from the 848:

I was originally wanting to go with a triangular cooler. I ended up replacing the stocker with an S4R cooler. I like the way it came out. If I had to do it again that curved Febur would be at the top of the list.

The Febur looks very interesting [thumbsup] From the other forums it seems to be about $550 shipped. My only problem would be re-fitting my beloved dual oversized horns.

The EVO cooler is probably a lot taller - maybe too tall?

MotoWheels is out of stock on their cooler (right?)

I have to check if I really need it - quite $$$$'y
Title: Re: Oil cooler size and capabilities, HyperMotard?

Do You really need a bigger oilcooler? I live in Norway too and my max oil temp was 121 C the first day i ride my bike. Since that I have newer Seen it above118 C. what is Your max oil temp?

No issues normally, but the scenario I'm preparing for involves tuned engine with dB-killers.
I'll monitor the temperatures with the stock/HM cooler and compare with/without dB-killers.

Post by: junior varsity on March 04, 2011, 09:59:59 AM
no - i have seen people tape over or cover half of oil cooler if weather is not very hot

there is also the mocal thermostats - makes oil divert back before oil cooler if under certain temperature.


here i do not think an s2r1000 would make it through the summer without oil cooler
Title: Re: Oil cooler size and capabilities, HyperMotard?

I could probably run my s2r with out an oil cooler here.  I rarely ever pass the 150* mark while commuting, and just barely pass the 200* mark on spirited rides and through traffic.  :-\

you forgot to circle the thermostat element that keeps the oil from over-cooling, shown just to the left of your box, directly after the in/out on the case.   I think evoluzione used to even manufacture one that was duc specific, but now I believe it is primarily a "rig something up" via generic parts task - a la the Mocal one.
Title: Re: Oil cooler size and capabilities, HyperMotard?
Post by: ducpainter on March 04, 2011, 05:45:13 PM
I have no temp gauge...

my bike never runs hot or cold. ;)

I tape over the cooler to keep condensation out of the level window in cool temps.

See...

no overthinking here. ;)

Actually Joshua, I'm pretty sure that the same Evoluzione Cyclesports oil thermostat that's in the picture could fit on different Ducati models and a few Aprilias too.  The different bikes did require different AN connectors or hoses (in the case of Aprilias) to hook it up.

Positive it's F*.  My bike is cold blooded for some reason.  It runs about the same temp or cooler than some of my buddies water cooled japanese bikes (r6s & gsxrs) for some reason...even in the twisties and in 90* traffic.  :-\

Do we know if the fittings, on the cooler side, are the same for the HM and the HM Evo?


Edit: yes, they are [thumbsup]


At this point, the EVO cooler seems to be a strong contender.
The only worry is that I'm not sure if I need 85% better.

IMO, unless you're seeing oil temp regularly approaching 300 degF...it's just bling that you'll need to cover (or partially cover) to keep oil temp up.

The SC-project and NCR coolers are quite nice, though.

It's 8 ribs high, compared to stock 6.
Theoretically, that makes it about an inch higher (105mm vs 80mm)
In itself maybe not too much, but the connection points and lines must have some room too.

That's where the other coolers have an advantage - with their lower positioned built-in points.

I need to run semi/mineral 20/50 oil for my wet clutch not to slip after the tuning.
Maybe I need the oil to stay cooler than I would otherwise need.

We'll see after testing on dry roads and normal temperatures (a month or more)

Mine runs pretty hot here (even w/ rich mixture), so I'd like the add'l cooling and vastly superior looks over my old school pre-round edges boxy oil cooler.  When I do it, I will definitely track down a thermostat.

Measured a Hyper EVO cooler today.

300 x 105 x 30 mm with the fitting mounts angled a bit inward. (stock 250 x 80 x 30 mm)(roughly)
The mounting brackets, special made for EVO I assume, are 160 mm apart vs 150 stock. (need at least longer bolts and more rubber)

It wouldn't surprise me if the fittings interfere with a Monster frame.....

The rubber is the same part # on both applications. The bolt is not.
Maybe it's possible to re-use part of the old rubbers or just some washers + a longer bolt....
My main concern would be if there is room for it at all, it's quite large and has the fitting mounts on top of that.
