FireHead Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 i just ordered some of this stuffwhat do you have to mix it with? how do you drain the old rad fluid? You mix it with deionized water. You drain the old coolant by taking the hoses off the water pump. Water Wetter is not an anti-freeze, so be aware of that if you are in a climate that sees freezing temperatures. :thumbsup: Quote
Bansh-eman Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 get 2 gallons of distilled water... like fire said pull the hoses and drian the fluids... then use the first gallon of distilled water to flush your system out... mix the other gallon up.... make sure you read the instruction on how muc to mix... you dont have you use very much.... then pour it in....

Is distilled water the same as deionized water? I am not trying to be a smart ass, I really don't know. Deionized water is what you are supposed to use. I have noticed they sell both at the grocery store and have often wondered what the difference was. :geek: Quote
350BANSHEE350 Posted April 3, 2007 Author Report Posted April 3, 2007 can i mix it with some antifreeze too Quote
Bansh-eman Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 (edited) im not sure if its the same or not... i know that distilled water is just watter... no minerals or metals or anythign it in... i have always heard of using distilled casue it wont csue the sludge build up ... i havent even seen the stuff your talking bout but then again i havent ever looked for it... are you riding where it freezes? if not you dont need anti freeze... anti freeze is NOT a coolant... its sole purpose is to keep the shit from turning to ice while your not riding.... you can add some but your going to effect how well it work... dont ask how much it will effect cause i cant tell you, no one can give you a soild answer on that they can just generalize....

yamaha04 Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 (edited) buy engine ice if you want anti frezze and superioir cooling. ither way if you have a cooling problem these are just bandaid fixes. but do aparently lower the temp of you bike Edited April 3, 2007 by yamaha04 Quote
BumpaD_Z28 Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 can i mix it with some antifreeze too YES, I run it in addition to my 50 % water 50 % antifreeze mix.... (UT gets COLD!!!) Quote

I can make something up if you like. It sounds like you know about at much as I do about deionized water and distilled water. I have a feeling that distilled water may be like DI water, but with less stuff in it. You should atleast use DI water as it is the ions in the water that propogate galvanic and bimetallic corrosion. :geek: Quote
Bansh-eman Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 (edited) YES, I run it in addition to my 50 % water 50 % antifreeze mix.... (UT gets COLD!!!) so then thats not 50/50 is it? :biggrin: You should atleast use DI water as it is the ions in the water that propogate galvanic and bimetallic corrosion. good enough for me lol :geek: Edited April 3, 2007 by Bansh-eman Quote
BumpaD_Z28 Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 so then thats not 50/50 is it? :biggrin: good enough for me lol :geek: correct it's probably like 3/47/50 :geek: sorry :kiss: Quote
FireHead Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 YES, I run it in addition to my 50 % water 50 % antifreeze mix.... (UT gets COLD!!!) I shall be purchasing Engine Ice now that I am in the land of ports. Quote
