Oil cooler

27 Nov 2016 14:35

My recently purchased Kawasaki KZ 1000 J1 has a Lockhart oil cooler fitted, I'm guessing this didn't come as standard. When I first started working on the bike it had way too much oil in it. Was this done to account for the extra capacity due to the oil cooler, or should I keep to the original oil level marks?

Keep the oil level within the original marks.
