Jagg Oil Cooler Bypass Valves

[francoblay1]

Ok, I know there was a thread on this subject but I can't find it so I start this one.

I am interested on hearing from anyone who have used or is using them.

Worth it? Pros & Cons? Manual or Auto? etc etc.

Franco, I had a manual Jagg by-pass new in the box I gave to a member on here awhile back. Never used it so can't comment good or bad. I do know that you would have to do a little adapting as the BD oil cooler has a smaller line going to it and won't fit the Jag barbs.

Maybe this is enough for the very cold winter days? for me very cold means 32 - 50 F

I run two (2) Coolers.

I did all my adapting and hid everything under the bike! But it's just a 1/4"x 1/8" adapter. I run the Manuel just because I'm a hands on person. Is with them off in October and I turn them back on in July. I'm in Louisiana and this is the Deep South!

Interesting concept:

The Jagg By-pass Valve acts as a manual thermostat.

With the by-pass valve in the OPEN position:

Arrows on the by-pass dial point across the body

Oil flow will by-pass the oil cooler by taking the path of least
resistance (the cooler, more viscous oil in the oil cooler and oil
lines leading to the oil cooler allow the warmer oil to by-pass
the oil cooler when in this position)


With the by-pass valve in the CLOSED position:

Arrows on the by-pass dial point in the same direction as the
oil lines

Oil flow will be directed fully to the oil cooler and back The Jagg By-pass Valve is designed to be installed in the oil hoses between the oil cooler and its source and return to the oil tank.

So theoretically you could run it all year round and the oil would find its own way (on or off the coolers) depending on the outside temperature.....

 

[liferider]

That is correct, with the automatic valve! With the Manuel you direct where the oil flow goes. It's just that a automatic bypass & a Manuel bypass. I guess I figured people understood that. The automatic : the valve bypasses the cooler till the oil is to hot then a double plunger one opening to the cooler and one closing the bypass allowing oil to go through the cooler where it is air cooled 10*~20* and returned to the oil tank. With the Manuel bypass. You divert the oil yourself from and not allowing the oil to go through the cooler but streight back to the tank.

Accordingly to their explanation in the Manual, you do NOT totally cut the access to the coolers... instead it opens a path for the hotter oil to find its quickest way back into the tank when the outside temperature gets cooler...

Your dead heading on Manuel

Pretty simple really.
