98 big bear oil cooler

[warlord]

I guess no one saw my question in the oil cooler how to so I'll ask here. I always see people saying use the 95's oil cover but I have a chance at getting one from a 98. Will it work? Also, can I use the Big bear's cooler as well or is it better off to get a hayden or a permacool or something like that?

Thanks

I can't help you with an answer, but if you go to one of the online parts catalogs and check the part numbers for the two years and they match, you'r good to go.

Hope it helps....

No it won't work, they changed the motor after the 95. You need a 95 or earlier big bear cooler adapter.

will the adaptor off of a yzf450 work or has any body tried one before?

adapter on a 450? If they even have one it wouldn't fit (99.99% sure they don't have one at all)

well i was just looking around ebay and found this item: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Yamaha-YFZ450-Oil-Filter-Cover-YFZ-450-96515_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ43977QQitemZ4623293702QQrdZ1

i think thats what it, are the moldings are where the oil lines thread in or are those something else?

 

[yamarider]

it's a completely different engine, it won't work. Even if it did fit, and those are oil lines, they're both going in the wrong direction. Just get a big bear adapter, then you'll know it's gonna work, and it won't be all rigged up with oil lines going in all directions.

Alright thanks everybody. I'll tell that guy that bad news.

i have the hole set up from the big bear lines cooller adapter cover the problem you run into in lines are to short the were the lines connect to the cooler is a special peice and the dont make that any more. it can but done but i dont recomend it . you can use the big bear cooler, but its just a hassel. so i say you should just get the hyden cooler ,uche easier basicly follow the thred on the how oil cooler thred.

hope that possible helped .lol
