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

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).

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.

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

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.

[Gas Man]

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.

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.
