GO, there is no thermostat for the oil cooler shown on the oil system diagram in the service manual. Oil flows all the time through it. Oil leaving the cooler goes to the spark plug area, then on.

I have an oil temp indicator on my CB. It uses a flat probe that slides between the cooler fins and comes with a paste to close off the front openining. I also put it on either side to reduce the air coolin on either side of the probe.

Thanks Popgun, that makes practical sense since the oil is thick to push when cold.
