Coolant additive

Postby 2000greenz24 » Wed Mar 09, 2016 4:57 pm

I am wondering about coolant additives. I'm only planning to do track days this year and see you can run water wetter. I was wondering if the hyper lube is ok? Appears to be the same type of additive just a diffenent brand.

It appears the product is similar to water wetter based on MSDS and tech info.

One issue is the product is Fluorescent Green in color. If you go through tech and a tech inspector see your coolant is green in color they are going to assume you are running coolant and you won't pass tech.

I strongly suggest you just run water or pick up some water wetter from a local dealer. Halifax Motorsports usually has water wetter on the shelf for a good price. Call Katherine or Tyler and they will fix you up.

A reminder to those this spring to dump your coolant, refill with water, start your bike and bring up to full temp and then do a second dump of this water to completely remove any remaining coolant in your system. A simple dump and refill with distilled is not enough to remove all antifreeze from the system.

Your bike will be fine with just water if you can't find water wetter.

Thanks for the insight. Napa can order water wetter in for $14 a bottle (not many options of places to get it in the valley).
