Im wondering if there is an additive out there other than water wetter for your radiator? In the summer my DS runs hot, never overheats or anything, the fans always on.....just wandering if anyone knew of an additive that works?

 

Why are you not wanting to run water wetter ?

 

Engine Ice works wonders and for most people the fan barely ever comes on. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

what is watter wetter?

I like engine ice for my DS, do a search, we've hit this a few times before.

 

Oh and welcome to the forums derrick2v. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Its a cooling additive made by Redline it is also sold under the Honda brand name through dealers.

 

Thanks Freebird, thats what i was thinking of, just couldnt remember the name......i've heard that it works great. I have not tried water wetter, but we run it in our stock cars and it dont seem to make a huge diff....

 

We ride mostly in the dunes in the summer and with engine ice in our bikes they don't ever heat up. But it does cost a bit more than the green stuff.

 

Uh............check your jetting. The first signs of a slightly lean condition is the motor running warmer and the fan coming on more often.

I would see if there is a reason why it is running warmer before I tried to band-aid it with a coolant additive, IMHO.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Mine seems to run warmer than normal. What do you think could be causing this?
