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 http://www.engineice.cc/ |
