You guys are a great source of info, so here is another question concerning the 110.
American Iron mag, last three issues, has articles about oil coolers. He writes about very high head temps for the 110, rear head gasket blow outs and the detonation that occurs because of this heat, potentially causing a shorter engine life span and performance issues. The article addresses the adding of an additional oil cooler for a total of two in order to bring the temps down. (Did the 07/08 heads upgrade address this head gasket problem or was that for amother glitch?)
I ran a single flow cooler on my Road King, now departed, with great success and I still have the cooler because I stripped the bike before I traded it in on the 09seuc. With the cooler, synthetic oil and a Power Commander, I was able to drop the oil temp some 30-40 degrees to about 205 degrees as indicated on the dip stick temp gauge.
Has anyone added a second cooler to the 110 and if so, what is your experience with it?
Is raising the fuel / air mixture ratio a better option for addressing heat and engine longevity? What is the best solution, IYO?
I ride alot in the Southwest so I am apprehensive about this engine's heat in 100 degree weather.
OK guys, show me your stuff. What you say?
