Track Day Antifreeze Coolant?

You pay the insurance premium you can make rules.

 

Not just insurance premiums. MAJOR inconvenience to everyone involved.

 

It takes 15min to dump water and add antifreeze for the winter and another 15min to switch back in the spring.

 

I was just generally curious. I have always used water wetter in the past. I just don't know how good it is for an engine in the long run. I understand a race engine being rebuilt every year. But I can't imagine it's good for long term use in street bikes that do double duty as a track day bike.
There's a good reason coolants have the ingredients and the properties it does. Not only for freeze protection but to properly control heat on the metal surfaces. Water can easily boil off of the metal leaving pockets of air. This is called cavitation. It will destroy metal. Ever see a water pump missing the impeller? It was eaten away by cavitation.

 

To do it right it is much more involved than draining it from the pump bolt. You need to remove hoses too. It would be nice if there were a good product that was track safe and mongo approved lol

 

Ya, you hook up your garden hose to it and flush it. Fill the system, start the bike and get it up to temp so the thermostat opens up, dump it again. Repeat 2-3 times so the water is clear and then add your water and WW. I live in Canada and do this every year. It’s not “involved”.

 

Never use tap water. Especially where I live. Too many crusty minerals in it.

 

So flush it with distilled twice after using the hose. Again, this isn’t an “involved” process.

 

Yeah it kind of is. They uses special clamps on the hoses now that requires a special tool to remove. They look like the earless clamps but are quite different. And I would have to remove fairings. It's an ordeal and I have a lift table.

 

Alright, good luck.

 

Either Motul Mocool (NOT MOTOCOOL) or Water Wetter. Anything that offers freeze protection is automatically prohibited.

 

That’s too involved

 

Arguing with an idiot makes you, well nm.

 

LoL. How bout Patron Silver
?

 

That shit is slicker than regular anti-freeze......and almost as bad as oil or worse to cleanup. WERA is smart for NOT allowing that shit. CCS and you.....not so much.

 

If I can also add, water w/water wetter cools the engine better than antifreeze. I used it on my street bikes until winter.

 

There is some stuff I just recently put in my bike that's glycol free violent. I'm forgetting the name but I'll get it for you.

 

I doubt that. Glycol raises the boiling point of water higher than WW under the same pressure. If you notice... many race bikes have a higher pressure radiator cap to account for the lack of glycol in the cooling system and sometimes a much larger radiator capacity.
