Check the ingredients on the Peak. It may just already be mixed at a 50% antifreeze/50% water. Either way if it says to just use that product than just go ahead and use just that product. I don't have any experience with Peak, but I'm pretty certain that its just already diluted. Personally I run 100% water w/water wetter in the warmer time of the yr. Once freezing becomes an issue then I run approx 40% antifreeze/ 60% water again running water wetter. I think its pretty good stuff, and I know it works. It worked very well for my Crf450(dirtbike). I trail rode with it, and they are known for overheating when ridden slow. It made a noticable improvement when I switched over.

Can you run just water and water wetter and still have enough lube for the water pump? I thought it needed more lube than just an additive but I could be wrong. I think I will run just straight anti freeze for now, looks to be 50/50 as is. Going to add either water wetter, engine ice, or redline.

I run Engine Ice. It comes pre mixed and is bio degradable, but it sure is pricey! I think I am going to get one of those ESR temp gauges soon.

Honda sells HP coolant in a little blue bottle. The stuff is really good and normally what I run. right now I'm running Dexcool (the orange stuff) at 80/20. I also have a pro design "cool fin" in the return line. No problems with it. Does everyone still have their cooling/overheat fan on? Or did it stop working and you took it off. I stripped my bike, and just put it back on without thinking, but I don't think it works anymore. P'bly take it off this winter. I would really like to get one of those doublewide radiators like J. Jones has, sweet!
