Do I have to take the exhaust headers and oil filter housing off to get the oil cooler pipes off. The bottom join seems to behind the frame.

Some people say its possible but having tried it's best to bite the bullet and take the exhaust off. You'll also have the warm glow of knowing your header nuts are no longer seized. Use M8 stainless dome nuts to replace the original hex socket nuts.

I'm new here and don't want to rock the boat but I've done this recently without removing the exhaust headers (too lazy). After removal of the filter housing, the pipes came out OK with a bit of jiggling around (downwards), though I expect they'll be a pain to put back.

Hi Howard, when JTB & I replaced his RHS oil cooler pipe we didn't need to remove exhaust headers either. Not sure why others have felt the need, TBH.

Update: I found it difficult to replace the pipes in one piece without removing the frame cross-piece. I needn't have bothered though, as I had the top pipes on wrong way round anyway and had to pull them apart again. I did mark them initially but the markings washed off when I was cleaning the rust and metal filings out.

I did all that and fitted new ASH fluoro lined silicone hoses only to find the oil cooler leaked. The new cooler needed moulded 90 degree hose bends so the nice straight hoses I'd made up went in the bin.

We did away with the originals and replaced with suitable size fuel rubber hose. Originals are a ridiculous price.
We left a little bit of the original pipe and flared the end then just fitted the rubber over and tightened with pipe clamps.
Been good for a few years now.

ASH sell fluoro lined silicone hoses for oil systems they have moulded bends and straights. The old rubber hoses can be cut off the metal pipes. Carefully spilt the ferrules and the rubbers slide off easily. The snag is the standard oil cooler cracks at the oil pipe banjo threads. I fitted a 130mm high PWR transmission oil cooler in front of the frame tubes. It's quite a job as the mudguard will hit it if mounted too low and steering hits if done too high.

At least it does fit and costs about £50. Mr Yamaha wants £100s for a quick crack oil cooler a Bandit cooler is too too tall with funny angle fittings. A normal type shallow height fat body cooler also risky for fit and looks ugly. Being fat the steering will hit it so has to be mounted lower down, then the mudguard will hit. Very low won't fit because of exhausts.
