Oil cooler fittings

[DucHead]

I've only seen one post related to the size of the oil cooler fittings for our bikes (I think that they're all the same).

Are they -AN 6?

[Christophe]

Yep, AN-6 is correct. I just had mine redone and it was AN-6 fittings.

Thanks!!  I guess I'll be shopping at Summit Racing next payday.

I just put an Earl's cooler with braided hoses on my Bandit:


Hopefully, the Monster will be a little easier!

So you want to spruce up yer ride with some new Oil Cooler Lines? To be wrapped around the 'Correct' side of the engine, you know, clean things up a bit.
It seems, but you will have to verify, that Ducati changed some of the line connectors after 2001. This means that the adapter needed for the engine and oil cooler are the all the same size now, 14mm x 1.5 thread pitch after 2001. This translates into the need for 4 AN-6 male adapters for new lines. I purchased the black anodized fittings, but they are also available in the standard blue, alumuminum and stainless steel.
There are also helpful videos online on how to assemble the hose and fittings.

Thanks RB - in a better search, I found your post and made my wishlist at Summit Racing.

I just put an Earl's cooler with braided hoses on my Bandit:

That's what I've got on my monster.  With multistrada lines with custom fittings on the oil cooler end of the lines.  I'll see if I can dig up a pic.

Edit:  found some pics.

is there anything else that goes with an oil cooler fitted to the bike?

I mean you just unplug the two bolts on the engine and fit on the oil cooler lines? that's it?

No, you need the diverter valve (parts catalogue calls it a bypass spring) to install a cooler onto a bike that didn't come with one.

It goes underneath the threaded fitting that the oil filter screws onto.

thanks. question though. why does ducati not put the coolers on the bikes below 750? what are the pluses for adding one to the 695/696 vs the minuses?

[Speeddog]

I'm sure it's cost.

695/696 would maybe benefit from a cooler, especially if you run it hard or ride where it's hot.

seriously? cost? i mean they could put what maybe 500 extra on the price IF needed to add a cooler.

Hey Spidey what model number of oil cooler do you have?  Is it the 10 row?
Does it keep your bike as cool as the stock?

I'm not sure of the model #.  Duck-stew might know.  I can count the rows if ya'd like.

As for how cool it runs, to be honest, I'm not sure.  My engine has some upgrades from stock (porting, high comps, pod filters, exhaust) and I expect it's running hotter than it used to anyway.  I've been having issues with my temp gauge.  So until I fix it, I just change the oil a lot and hope my engine doesn't explode.  If I can get the temp issue resolved this weekend, I'll have a better answer for you.
