The oil cooler on the GS is used to cool the engine oil which is fed from the smaller of the two oil pumps to the cylinder heads.
I'm believe the oil passes through the oil cooler before it reaches the heads.
I recall seeing a diagram of the two engine oil pumps and their respective circuits a while ago, but can't find it again!
Can anyone give me a link to a diagram such as this, or if anyone can confirm this, I'd be grateful. TIA.
 
On oilheads, only the exhaust ports are directly "cooled". The rest is "secondary" from the radiator side, just the cooler oil mixes with the rest of (hotter) engine oil in the oil-pickup pan beneth the engine and circulated with oilpump.

See the first two diaghrams. (second is with thermostat, RT model)

The third pic shows oilpump's main objective: oiling circuit (big end bearings, valves etc important drag spots)
