TWIN AIR Oil Cooling System for KTM EXC 500, SXF 450, XCF 450 and HUSQVARNA FC 450 2012-2015

The TWIN AIR 160444 oil cooling system is designed for KTM EXC 500, SXF 450, XCF 450 and HUSQVARNA FC 450 from 2012 to 2015. On a motocross or enduro four-stroke, the oil gets very hot in mud, sand or at low speed. An oil cooler takes the strain off the engine and protects the oil, which also lubricates the gearbox and clutch.

• Patented air-cooled oil cooler, independent of the coolant circuit.
• Tubular heat exchanger mounted behind the left radiator, connected with rubber hoses of 6 mm inner diameter.
• Complete kit: heat exchanger, bolts, oil filter cap, hoses, clamps and instructions.

When do you need it?

• Riding in sand, mud or slow enduro, where the engine runs hot.

The kit is specific to each model: check the bike and years. Quality engine oil and regular oil changes are still essential.

Fitting tips

1. With the engine cold, drain the engine oil.
2. Follow the instructions: mount the cooler in its intended location and connect the hoses, with no kinks and no contact with hot or moving parts.
3. Tighten the clamps, fill with engine oil, run the engine, then check the level again: the added circuit holds oil.
4. Check for leaks after the first ride.
