I've seen comments that this thing does not need an oil cooler.
I've seen a few comments where some guys were blaming the death of their YX140 on not having an oil cooler.

What say you guys? Gonna be throwing one in my z50 soon.

Just me, if you want one for the looks they're great, and it certainly can't hurt anything especially in the summer heat we endure down here, but unless you're planning to really ride it hard for a long period of time I doubt that it's of much benefit, does give you a few teaspoonsful more oil capacity though. I have one on my Harley but that's a completely different animal.

[h=1]Oil Cooler info - TBolt USA Tech Database![/h] Oil coolers are a performance accessory
Pit bike engines only hold 900ml of oil (less than 1qt) and may run hot after 1/2 hour of hard use
Using an oil cooler can help lower the overall engine temp and keep engines from overheating
Most Pit bike engine will not require an oil cooler
50-110cc Honda and China Motors have not required oil coolers but you can run a cooler off the head using an oil tap head plate.
125cc GPX and Piranha 140cc Can run a cooler off the head and Piranha 140cc has the oil tap head plate stock.
YX150cc YX60cc ZS140cc Lifan 140cc and ZS155cc all REQUIRE oil coolers or a jumper line added to the case / clutch cover oil taps

Hi guys i am new here and i am from Albania and i had a zongshen 125cc engine and changed it to a nagaki 140cc that has the oil cooler caps on the right case. the shop that installed it said that without a oil cooler it was not a problem but i am afraid that i might ruin it.they placed a tube between the two oil caps and its very near to the exhaust pipe. i searched for a used oil cooler and found a burgman 650 used oil cooler for 26 Euro`s. can this help me.

any help appreciated.
