Author Message   Joel Posted on Saturday, March 29, 2003 - 12:36 pm:        Hi. I purchased a used Spurgin oil cooler for my X1, no instructions were included. Mounting seems obvious but is their any pre filling and purging required? Thanks. Joel   Bads1 Posted on Saturday, March 29, 2003 - 04:43 pm:        Joel I've got the oil cooler also,good choice.Fill your oil tank to its capacity then take the bike for a ride and worm the bike up.Then check it again,add more accordingly.Good luck.   Newfie_Buell Posted on Saturday, March 29, 2003 - 06:52 pm:        If it were me I'd pre-fill it as much as possible. It all depends if the filter cools the oil before or after going through the motor.   Bads1 Posted on Sunday, March 30, 2003 - 08:35 am:        It has a thermostat in it so the oil won't go in untill the oil is hot enough that it needs to be cooled.Thats why I said go get it good and warmed up then check it again.   Jim_Witt Posted on Sunday, March 30, 2003 - 07:48 pm:        Dana wrote: I've got the oil cooler also,good choice.
