Body done. Check
Roof done. Check
Paint. Check
New LEDs check.
New rad and fan mounted. Check
New cooler mounted plumbed. Yeah but

Problem I have oil light on now. Common for a sec or two or maybe 5 after a change. But I think I have an air bubble trapped. ESP after studying the doom diagram. So got to chase that down. The oil cooler had cold oil while oil at filter was hot. I got to prime it better. And still have prob with battery staying charged. Even with a disconnect!!  But what the hell we got 3 weeks no hurry or anything

Sorry only crappy cell pics. Don't have time to work and take pics. So maybe a few as I load up or as Fast says about ice cream  must be present to win/eat.

take the terminal off the batt and if it still goes dead then your batt crapped out. isn't the oil cooler above the oil filter? if so did you pull a line and fill the oil cooler too as too start a gravity feed? they always look better with skin lol

You must be routed wrong. The oil cooler should be pressure fed and returned.

It's a adapter that sandwiches between filter and block. I would guess oil filter is pressurized?  There is a bypass valve inside based on drawings in book. I layed oul cooler on ground but I'm thinking maybe the idiot oil light/pressure switch is on because of a bad air lock at either I or the bypass valve. Gonna research some today.

and what is the function of the bypass other than the obvious? I ask because if it is temp related I wonder if it can be removed for better flow for what the motor is used for now.

Its an oil relief valve.  It controls oil pressure in motor.  Stock looks to be 55psi warm at about 6k.  Can raise pressure with shim.  But I'll take a pic of diagram  looks like passage to valve and oil switch are on a dead end line.  If they have air trapped that would explain.

I'm thinking ,without thinking it thru(lol),you are bypassing the bypass with the aux oil cooler adapter and getting low oil pressure. Is this adapter engine specific or generic?

If you go back to pg18 you can see the adapter part of the cooler.  Oil comes into back side, should run thru line, thru cooler and down to outside of filter.  Pass thru filter and up the block.  I dig into again this week.  Took today off!!   

It was a generic oil cooler setup.

Well did more diggin and seems many Kawi oil pumps have a priming problem when they sit w/o oil for a while.  And I was oiless for 4-6 weeks.  And to prime easy way, just apply 30 psi air to cranck case vent a few times and it will push oil thru system.  So hopefully this takes care of it and no damage has been done with the low oil pressure while I was %$$#% with it.  Only idled a bit, and never made any noise.

Wouldn't you have to crack an oil line for this to work?

I'd think not.
