Engine Ice
 

...

If you track your bike keep in mind that Engine Ice is not acceptable at all tracks.

Sounds like you got air in your system, run with the cap off and rev it up and fill as needed.

also if the temps get below freezing in your area in the winter, replace it with coolant for the winter time. Don't want a cracked block.

Engine ice is good below freezing. Can't remember how cold though. The jug I had in the garage never froze down to 0

Ran it in the 9R and it lowered temps by like 20*

But as you said check the t-stat opening temp. That will determine its help value. My 9r opened at like 160 so it lowered it from like 190* to 170*

I ran it in my 900RR and it dropped temps about 10 degrees. Not a huge difference, but it made it run cooler sitting in stop and go traffic, which was my main goal.

Unless you live in Antarctica, Engine Ice is fine for winter. Engine Ice is good coolant, but the claimed reduction in operating temperature is overinflated.

Yeah plus it seems to be more resistant to raise temp above what its establishes as the new operating temp. So once stuck in traffic jam it seems to not raise as quickly either.

But be sure to get the cyclelogic brand

Sweet.

That is just wierd.

You did get the right brand correct?

I accidently got some purple shit and it did that. It has to be the blue cyclelogic.

It sounds like you might have an air bubble. I've ran it in 2 bikes so far, and both of them took quite abit longer to warm up after I put it in.

Also did you flush out your existing coolant thouroughly before putting the engine ice in? Engine ice isn't compatable with regular antifreeze. So if there was any green antifreeze left, it could be reacting with the Engine ice.

I have it in both the TL and CBR, and they both run a little cooler. The biggest thing I've noticed is that they take longer to get hot ie. when sitting in traffic.

That's what I was thinking.

I swear by Engine Ice for my Ducs...

True, many tracks won't accept bikes running regular anti-freeze, or any Gylcol based coolants,(like Engine Ice). Glycol is extremely slippery stuff, and can screw up a track surface in the event of a leak, or crash.

Personally, I like Redline's Water Wetter with a 20% Gylcol mix for street, and a one ounce per quart, Water Wetter/ Distilled water combo, for the track.

The other advantage to WW, is that it's compatible with regular coolants, so there is no worry about reactions to residual anti-freeze in the system.

I would, however, probably run Engine Ice, if my bikes were allowed to freeze in the winter. (They're not).

That is Royal purple. JUNK. I tried that shit and it would spit most of it out. Flush that shit out for the blue stuff. That is your problem. I'll put money on it!! Get some cycle logics blue stuff.

The only cycle logic stuff I have seen is purple.

Right.

I'm confused. Gas... are you talking about what we're talking about?

Royal Purple is a whole other company.

But that is BLUE! When you look at that stuff in person it looks blue not purple.

Here's the royal purple stuff

I tried this stuff first and it sucked! Motor kept over heating and shit.

I think gas is color blind cause. I have a bottle in my garage and its most definitely a violet shade.

nah.....

same color?

NO

actually on my computer they look close. :lol:

I know what you are saying though.
Engine ice when in a darker area has a violet hue to it. Hold it up to a light or a window with the sun behind it and it becomes more blue.

Exactly. Where as the other stuff is definately purple...

Ok, I will say indigo, how about that Gas? That's between blue and violet in ROY G BIV. LOL!

Trip, you are a faggot. I'm surprised you didn't say lavender or some other gay shit.

I am not the one who rapes his friends at night while they sleep.

You know, at work that shit looked purple. At home it looks a little closer to blue.

And that ROY G BIV blast had me rolling. Seriously. :lol

:skep:

thread tags always end up hilarious

I love them.

I agree with the air bubble thing. Some bikes are really hard to get the air bubbles out of. My dirt bike is such a pain that it has 2 bleeder screws. On sport bikes the water pump will get a air bubble and the best way I have found to get rid of them is to squeeze the hoses rapidly with the cap off you will see and hear the bubbles come out.

I to have used engine ice with great results.

Oh I forgot to add, do not use regular car antifreeze in bikes as they have silica added to help clean the car systems and it ruins bike systems. Honda even had a tech memo on it.
