Cooling systems, who runs what?

Mad Dog · Post by **Mad Dog** » April 3rd, 2008, 4:45 pm

I just ordered up some Evans NPG+. I was curious who runs what?

Watter Wetter
Engine Ice
Evans
Coolanol
50/50 antifreeze
Distilled water
Other

If someone wants to turn this into a poll. That's fine with me.

EVANS period.
I have alot of bikes xrs crs & fricken bad ass crs Evans is where its at .
keep in mind that if you bike runs hot it will still run hot with evans it just wont boil over . so if you are a rider you will know your hot and will shut it down to cool off with out boiling all your shit out to tell ya its fricken hot ass hole . so I guess Evans is only for rides who would know the diff.

50/50 preston premixed. used to run engine ice before the a/f, but since I converted, it stays cool on regular 50/50 with an overflow

No need to run more than a stock cap with evans it wont expand . you can pull the cap at any temp. and check the level.

I thought u needed a least a little coolant with water wetter...I know its supposed to work better with the most water, but...?

Water conducts heat better than antifreeze, the best 'coolant' is what bobs running.

MICK · Post by **MICK** » April 4th, 2008, 7:43 am

Water Wetter provides all the lubrication and corrosion protection you need. It works best with one ounce of pink stuff per quart of H2O. Which is about all the 500 holds anyways.

*IF* you use Water Wetter in your truck or bike during the winter you should use at least 15% antifreeze for protection. But if you live south of the mason dixon line like I do that doesn't really apply.

Ah -I've run it before in my old Scirocco and it did work well...but I had 60% coolant in that.

Water Wetter tells you on the bottle the less "coolant" the better it works. But if you live in a cold climate thats not an option...

Im not sold on the Evans yet. After all it is an "oil", so even if it wont boil over, I still worry about its thermal characteristics (how long does it take for your deep fryer to heat up and cool down??)...

Jay, have ever had to shut down because you were running too hot?

ya, my bike runs like a coke whore with an 8-ball and I don't have any heat issues with my prestone $5/gal stuff, so I'm keeping it!

Honda 50/50 all the way baby...Its $5 a quart, so it MUST be awesome shit!!

dannygraves · Post by **dannygraves** » April 4th, 2008, 4:28 pm

thats what I used to run, but the closest honda stealership in carter, and I'm not driving that far for coolant!

im gonna run the same as bob. I have ran waterwetter in every motorcycle I have owned. zero problems. I love the stuff and the anti corrosive propertys for aluminum are a bonus. one bottle last a loooooong time.
