Default What to buy? - Engine Ice vs. Water Wetter vs. Evans NPG+

I live in Minnesota and just bought an Outty 650 XT. It runs pretty hot and the engine hot light came on the first time we rode it (we may have been stuck in some muck at the time though).

I am wondering which of the above products will perform the best in the machine, keep the fan off and keep the engine cooler, but still be able to stay in during the winter here in MN.

Tell me what you use, what you like and why you like it and I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks.

Look very close at your radiator and be sure it's not plugged with mud...

Engine ice,best stuff. I've tried them all. I use it in my ds650 and my banshee. I also used in an old air cooled YZ490 2 stroke and it keep it cool when nothing else would!

You can take all the "shootouts" and put them in one bucket and you won't have beans.

Water Wetter in an air cooled engine? Were did you put it? Air cooled don't have a radiator, just fins on the engine. Just sayin...

sounds like your carb (air screw) isn't adjusted right . that will cause most quads to run hot. and as stated make sure your radiator is clean.
