Yes Bubba, it works. But you have to figure out what is causing your bike to overheat if it's actually overheating or if it's an electrical problem.

Engine ice........does it work, yes.
Does it work better than regular antifreeze? ah, not really.
There are 2 types of antifreeze.

Propylene Glycol Base Engine Coolant and ethylene glycol type engine coolant.

Ethylene glycol type coolant is the older and very toxic type of engine coolant.

Engine Ice is the newer Propylene Glycol thats less toxic and cools better than the older type of antifreeze.

The ONLY difference between it and a gallon of antifreeze of the same chemical composition is that Engine ice costs twice as much and is already premixed with water.

Engine ice costs about $19.00 a gallon and you use it straight.

Propylene Glycol based Antifreeze costs $8.00 a gallon and after you mix it you have 2 gallons.

Look for "Propylene Glycol" on the bottle of antifreeze and your basically buying twice as much engine ice at half the cost.

I have used both Propylene Glycol antifreeze and engine ice in both my highly modded Raptor and my Raptor with the gsxr 1000 motor in it. They both ran at the same temperature.

If you read the info on both, you will see that both have IDENTICLE properties. They both protect to 250 degrees F.

I used to use engine ice, I now use Propylene Glycol based antifreeze. Theres no differance as far as im concerned.
