I hope that's not for a oil cooler.

Don't run it like that. Might starve the engine of oil.

Cool i wont , had a z500 1980 but had to replace the engine to a kz550 1988 to there a few difference ,
Had to convert it from shaft drive to chain which took abit but thats all good now ,

The orginal engine went under flood waters and sat for a few years so was dead dead dead.
