update on ENGINE ICE

[1127 TO 1299]

By overheating I am referring to the temp gauge pointing due North with the red LED lit. The needle pointing level is the "normal " operating range and is what we are wanting the needle NOT to exceed. Until I swapped the coolant and changed my fan, my needle did not stay in the acceptable operating range. Once I did the swap my problem disappeared.

moose... you very likely had a bubble in your system from day one. and it remained until you made your change out.
Occasionally a complete drain is the only way to get those out.

I have left mine in the driveway for 20~30 minutes in this same heat...and she handles it well.

I understand your concern tho....that needle should never get much above the 1/2 point! yikes!
any chance you were looking the a mirror and actually viewing the gas auge? lol j/k
sometimes it's just the luck of the draw.

You have a very good point

90+ degrees here this weekend, regular around town traffic and all.  My temp gauge rides just below the half mark when I'm riding and the fan comes on at exactly the half mark, once the fan comes on the gauge never climbs another step, will actually run for about 1 minute then shut off and be off for about 2-3 minutes and come back on, but the gauge NEVER climbs above thge half mark.  Running Engine Ice this year and have noticed the time frequency of the fan coming on has increased since adding the ICE.

  I'd use it again anytime.

My bike runs exactly like mzrsq's with nothing but the stock coolant....NEVER goes above the halfway mark no matter how long I sit or how hot it is. I supect there's more to some of these overheating probs than just a weak cooling system. I would be checking for bad thermostats, plugged rads, air pockets, bad temp sensors/fan switches, old coolant ect before I tried some magical cure all. You gotta do your homework sometimes to fix a prob like this....even tho it can be a pain  

I added redline water wetter to my ZX-10 out of curiousity and it didn't do jack....I added about twice what they recomended...and just to my reservoir, not the rad. But still over time it mixed in pretty well I think.
I supect it may change it a few degrees...but whats that gonna do for a properly operating cooling system?.....or an improper one for that matter? Snakeoil boys...get your snake oil right over here....lol

so far this is how mine does ? and it gets hot down here in ms.

Think about this...  If it didn't work, how does the stuff keep selling?

how many tre's have been sold..

well no.. they actually do something...

how about them there "speed chip" things on ebay.. just a computer chip with two wires soldered to it.. he's sold a bunch..

I think crap keeps selling cuz we keep buying..



I sorta wonder what difference 15.. hell say 20 degrees difference in engine temp is gonna make in real world terms..

I know cars have specific thermostats because they are designed to run at optimum at that specific temperature.. could it be the same on bike... i'm sure it is..

I don't sit in traffic.. i'll turn around and go somewhere else befroe I'm doing that so maybe thats where the payoff is..

cuz lord knows I flogged the beast as hard as was possible in 80degree temps at the last track day 20 minutes at a time WFO throttle a whoooole lot (was getting 19mpg) and it ran just like it always did.. as far as temp goes.

the aluminum fan.. yes I can see that being an improvement.. .. i just see alot of smoke and mirrors aroudn this engine ice stuff.

35 bucks for a gallon, need less that a gallon
