is there an Oil Cooling fan avail for 2011 R12R?

Post by LeonardoNYC »

hey all, hope everyone is well.
is there an oil cooler fan available for 2011 R12Rs? last summer my bike ran hot in sometimes not so hot weather. Oil change 800 miles ago seemed to help a little. Today I noticed the temp starting to creep up in 72-degree weather. Did a few searches but hard to find any info if something like this exists? I used to have a 2009 R12R, was totaled when a cager hit me and now have the 2011 classic. temp wasn't usually an issue for my 09, but this bike seems to run a bit hot.

Thank you.

Never heard of one.

From the factory, BMW has a cooling fan on the police ("Authority") RT models. The oil cooler on those machines is placed within the fairing in a different location, and not shaped the same as the one on the R; I expect the fan and mounts and shrouding would be different and not fit.

Is the oil clean and new? What oil are you using?
