This is gonna have to get added to my maintenance list for spring since I have no clue if the coolant has ever been changed in my bike.

I don't remember.

Water Wetter freezes. It's mostl water and some Water Wetter added to it. Engine Ice doesn't freeze. I'm putting Engine Ice in when I get home.

Take a gallon of distilled water and put in about 20 caps of water wetter, after you drained everything out and its clear, use that gallon to fill it up and your good to go after you let it idle for a few and snap the throttle.

Cutty, use liquid performance.

Liquid Performance is suppose to be the shit, it's what my mechanic recommends and he knows his stuff and is a track junkie himself.

That's what I wanted to go with, but the local business that carries it moved and I couldnt find em in time. I will probably switch out at the end of the season.
