Answer 2

Torque is the amount of pressure put on any thing you do up on a bike, you set pounds per square inch on wrench and when it reaches that pressure it clicks, so you don't shear anything, oil cooler works by going via a radiator to make engine slightly cooler, slipper clutch is used in bike racing to stop wheelies, off the line and coming out of corner,

Answer 3

A back torque limiter is a poor mans slipper clutch.  It takes out the initial hit if you let go the clutch to hard on a downshift to try to help you avoid locking up the rear wheel.  A slipper clutch will allow the rear wheel to rotate faster on a downshift than the gearing should allow, which WILL stop you locking the rear.

An oil cooler works exactly like a radiator.
