Although you have an oil cooler, it's basically air cooled; the cooling of the oil is in addition to the cooling of the metal via the fins to dissipate the heat. the older Beetles and Porsche 911s were air cooled, but also had oil coolers. The Beetle had no oil filter and only had a total of three qts. of oil in the sump; 911s had a dry sump and a nine quart oil tank, so changing the oil on a 911 is expensive nowadays, compared to back then. Nighthawks are probably the most reliable air cooled engines in a bike...

Here's the deal guys I always thought my 650 was an air cooled motorcycle but recently searching around for parts I came across a "cooling system" now this system is the same thing that I have on the front of my 85 but the seller made it seem like it was more than just air cooled. Talked about oil for it and such? Did I miss something because I love my bike and really don't want to screw it up. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
