Rc51 oil cooler

Hello i recently tried to headbut a tree goin 45 on the bike. So now im puttin my baby back together and noticed rc51 oil coolers r bigger and more readily available and was curious if anyone had put one in a 6th gen.

Ok so one week down and nothing. I figured by now someone would have atleast said something.

I think I remember someone using an RC51 oil cooler before...

Here's one on a 5th gen

Try it and let us know how it works out. I think your biggest issue will be making sure it clears the suspension under compression.

Shouldn't be a problem. Veefer800Canuck added a second cooler to his 5th Gen, if I recall correctly...

Well, almost.

I put on a 1986 VFR750 item, which is 3 rows, in place of the VFR800 one, which was 2 rows.

VTECS already have a 3-row cooler, geardrive 800's have two.


Also, the VTEC coolant rads are supposedly 8% larger than the geardrive ones, according to official Honda ad literature circa 2002.

I have an RC51 oil cooler that is slated to go on an 04VFR project bike, but I have made no attempt to fit it up yet. However it looks like it should fit, and you could always buy one off ebay, give it a try and if it doesn't work just sell it again on ebay.

Good luck :fing02:
