Evans waterless coolant?
02/25/21 11:41 AM

Anyone ever use this stuff?

I'm getting ready to do my exhaust swap and figured I'd swap to engine ice or a similar product while I had the body off. When looking around to see what was "the best" I ran into the waterless coolant.

Been using ice in all my bikes for years with good results. Living in the Pacific Northwest we don't see the heat like other regions though. Never tried the waterless coolant.

I live near Chicago so we don't see super crazy temps. I just figure any advantage I can give the cooling system would help in performance and longevity for the bike.

Plus I'm trying to plan a couple trips down south this summer where it will be really hot.

I have used engine ice for 15 degree drop in average situations.

Engine Ice is in my 3 bikes and no problem so far. I am in Missouri so we can have all 4 seasons in 1 day

I put Evans waterless coolant into a 2007 ZX-14 AFA SE and it worked fine until one hot day I got caught in a traffic jam on the skyway. It didn't boil over but the oil got so hot the frame blistered my leg but good. I had no other way but to ride it out until I could get off the skyway. My thermostat failed to wide open after that so it ran cold until I could replace it and go back to green ethylene glycol 50/50. The engine ice you guys are using sounds like something I'd like to try this summer, thanks for the tip. I don't run on the track so I don't really need that Evans in there anyway. Other things I'd like to try are a higher-flow fan that Schnitz Racing sells since I've never had heat problems while I'm moving. The 4-row radiators from Alibaba in China have a too high of a leak failure rate right out of the box for the cost to go that route. Does anyone know if wrapping the headers to stop heat soak is worth the trouble?
