Hi all

I'm going to fit a oil cooler to my skinny 2007 695

I have a cooler and lines from a S2R 800 and a valve cover with mount from a 750

I haven't had a chance to fit it yet so don't know what I'm in for

Is this a popular mod as I haven't seen it much?

Is it really as easy as I think it is?

Any input would be great!

Thanks!

You'll need the mating oil fittings that screw into the cases.

And you'll need the bypass plate that goes under the oil filter fitting.

Does that valve cover have the oil temp fitting in it?
Like the one on the intake side of your horizontal cylinder?

Yes it does have oil temp fitting on it

I have the mating fittings on order

But this bypass plate I don't have, can I get one from any other monster do you know?

I think any Ducati with belt drive cams and an oil cooler will have the same one.

Brilliant!

Thank you!

When removing the double-ended stud which mounts the oil filter: Be careful NOT to get a socket which has a lot of end-taper on the 6 sides.  Reason being is that the 6 sided stud is very short in that dimension and if the socket has a lot of end-taper on it...then you'll round out that double-ended stud.  Which is not pleasant.

My recommendation would be to get a cheap-o socket in that size and then grind the end down until there is NO end-taper to completely ensure that the socket is acting directly on the stud.

Advise taken!

Thank you

it is now intermitent . . . either no use at all of caps or shift key on lh side locks until hit hard again . ..  need a new PS/2 keyboard or a USB and adapter

Also when doing an oil change will I have to add extra oil to compensate for the cooler??

I had the same concern about oil when I did the oil cooler mod to my 695.  I couldn't tell if I needed more after I did the mod.  When changing the oil I use the sight glass to gauge if I need more oil or less.

I'm glad I did add the oil cooler, the oil temp readings are certainly lower after the installation.

simply crank the motor with the plug wires off then re check, a must any oil cooler install, cycle the oil through the system a bit, then add to fill level

When removing the "double ender" does it undo with a backwards thread??
