FireHead Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Is there a noticable differnece when switching to it Between Engine Ice and Redline Water Wetter you will see a small increase in cooling efficiency. There are alot of factors involved with effectively cooling a Banshee. No matter what Engine Ice is a high quality coolant. Whether you will acutally be able to see a physical difference on a gauge or otherwise, maybe or maybe not. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheefourseven Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 I had a problem with overflowing coolant when riding a very short track with minimal straightaways. I switched to Engine Ice and It doesnt do it anymore. I was reading 190-205 head temps without it (using infrared thermometer) I am now reading 140-170 head temps But it is about 20 deg f cooler outside now so Its not accurate data. But no more overflows It wasnt quite overheating with regular coolant in it but it was getting hot enough to spit a little out on the right side pipe every so often. Even in cooler weather. Id say for $15-$20 go for it you cant go wrong. Its much better than reg coolant. Only slightly better than water wetter and water , but it does have freeze protection unlike water wetter , which does not protect from freezing.

I think you touched upon the main difference between Engine Ice and Water Wetter. If you don't need freeze protection then Water Wetter is just as good of a product. :geek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BansheeKid15 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 I was thinking about running engine ice this time around since i dont have any fluid in my bike... My only question is i do have a small amount of regular (preston) coolant in the jugs. Would it be a bad idea to change over to engine ice with that still in the jugs? Another stupid question . Where can you buy it? i was at kragen and the yamaha store and looked around quick and didnt see any.\ Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbooker82 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Just pull the plugs on each jug to drain the coolant out of the jugs. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
