Default water wetter

What's up guys,

Has anyone had any luck with water wetter? It's supposed to drop your temp down to 202 from 228 degrees. I know many people say that the fan runs alot and this might help the problem. I just put some in my bike but I haven't run it yet. What do you all think?
Later daze & better layz

I run it. It keeps it cooler, also my frequency thingy , (holeshot) mod will make it run cooler at slower speeds too.

I use a radiator additive that works similar to watter wetter...its called purple ice and it works pretty good (seems to reduce the number of times that my fan kicks on and reduces the time it stays on...but it still comes on more often than I would like...then I recently added the Dyna cdi and it seems to run a little more cooler now). I think Water Wetter and Purple Ice are similar in price too.

Water wetter works great.
i used WW in my old '79 bronco. It ran hot all the time. (long block 460) After putting in the wetter I noticed a 25deg F. drop. I have not used any additives in my quads but have noticed alot of guys are using the Evans Engine Ice

That's good news. I think I'll put some in my Sawmp Buggy.

Here's a stupid question. How are you supposed to drain all of your radiator fluid out of the bike? Just unhook the radiator hose at the radiator? It got some of it out, but I would say only half or so? Any comments?

The way water wetter works is it eliminates the small air bubbles that form just as the water is about to turn to steam, this gives you more surface area to cool the engine.

To install just a few oz. of Water Wetter or Purple Ice, all you have to do is use a medium size syringe (or turkey baster) and suck the top 1 or 2 oz. out of the top of the radiator (at the radiator cap). DO NOT remove the fluid from the overflow bottle as this will not be sucked back into the radiator like a normal car would.

I use the Evans coolant, it is a waterless coolant, you must drain the old all out. I do notice the fan running less in the hot weather.
