one is very expensive while the other is darn economical..

i'll go for water wetter reduce my normal riding temp by 5 deg c

[d0n]

hmz....i found no visible effects on my bike temperature after i switched over frm using glycerol to waterwetter

Engine Ice -> isn't it amazing how a crafty product naming exercise ends up convincing consumers that this particular regular radiator coolant actually 'cools' the engine... hehe...

its not only tat...

 

& the price the dared to charge....

[kirra55]

One of the best marketing 'Gimmicks' I have come across in years.

 

Maybe someone will come up with a 'superior product':

 

"GlacierRRRRR!!" run your engine cooling system on the power of the ICE AGE!!!"

hey that should work ya know!

but dont let ur bike idle or go at slow speed coz it picks up heat much faster.

wat if coolents mix wit different coolents?

There's a new kid on the block! Maxima's Cool-Aide concentrate, works just like WaterWetter, true improvement in cooling efficiency without costing you an arm and a leg. I was a WaterWetter user and swear that it works as advertised in terms of cooling, it is a good product, no doubt.

 

Now I'm using Cool-Aide, I swear too it works as well for my bike, and it is additive packed to protect the delicate aluminium and exotic metals in today's sportbike's engines. Interestingly, WW states that it does not protect magnesium in the back label! Many engine components are magnesium alloys. Check out SBF's exclusive promotional prices.

i realise tt too... but other than tt... its good

Cool-Aide is exactly like Water Wetter's mix ratio, dilutes 1 ounce per quart, or in metric, approximately 30ml per litre. You get 473ml of Cool-Aide concentrate, versus 355ml of Water Wetter per bottle. But you pay only RRP of $17 versus $25 for WW. SBF special promo price for Maxima is $15.50.

 

Cool-Aide is specially developed for bike's engines, protects aluminium and exotic metals from corrosion. In comparision, WaterWetter does not protect magnesium, something much less common in cars because they don't shave grams off the engines to make a lighter machine every alternate years like sportbikes.

can get at racewerkz

 

im trying it on now.

 

effects are ...

 

1. faster warm up time.

2. travelling on the highway temp not bad.

3.when stop at traffic light. temp shoot up.

 

 

no.3 is not a good thing for me. can shoot up to 105-107

anyway. racewerkz tell me if cool-aide no good i can change to water wetter FOC

 

 

RW told me that a CBR1k put waterwetter still very hot. but the cool aide works for the bike.

 

go try out and share ur comments with others lor, so that other ppl can benifit from a good product

Hi Josean, what you are experiencing is signs that Cool-Aide is working to keep your engine cooler. A common misconception is that the coolant temperature should be cooler and shooting up at traffic stops is very counter-intuitive. It's job is not to keep itself cooler! It's job is to take away heat from the engine, the faster the coolant heats up, the faster the engine cools. Replacing with WW or any other truly high performance coolant will yield the same effect Many people have brought this up before in previous postings, it is normal.

 

The higher thermal conductivity of the high performance coolant is showing that is is working. The temperature you are reading from your instrument is the temperature of the coolant, NOT the temperature of the engine core. When you stop moving, the radiator loses almost all of its cooling capacity, heat is not remove and builds up in your bike, everything heats up, including the rider's thighs!

 

Consider this analogy: Pour hot water into 2 flask, one a thermosflask and the other a metal flask. Which will be hotter to touch? The metal flask of course because metal is a better conductor. Which flask's content will be cooler after 5 mins? The metal of course, because the heat is more effectively rejected to the air through the metal. The thermoflask remains cool to touch, but the contents remain hot!

 

The coolant of a bike is just like the flask material while the engine core temp is like the temp of the hot water in the above example. The faster the heat is being transfer from engine core to coolant, the faster the coolant warms up, the more effective it is at doing its job of cooling down the engine core. But by touching the flask itself, you will be misled to think that the contents in thermosflask is cooler, but it is not!

it didnt happen with waterwetter. i tried it before cool aide

 

why i say its no good coz my engine will cut off at 127

and i dun wan that to happen in the middle of busy orchard road or stuck in some heavy KL jam

You should be worried if coolant is not heating up at stops, it means heat is trapped within the engine, thinning out your oil, increasing oxidation etc. It could be your WW experience was not optimum! I was running WW before too like you, it happened for me.

 

I assure you it won't heat to 127 to cause shut down, your fan will kick in 100~105, and the temp will rapidly drop once the air is moving through the radiator. Thanks josean for trying out Cool-Aide. Monitor your temp when cruising constant speed on NSHW, it is the best indicator of coolant performance. You will find the performance as good, if not better than WW.

perhaps ur fan is not working.Coz it needs fan to make the coolent circlatin in the radiator system in order for ur bike to cool in the 1st place.

 

Hope it helps.

HEard from an engine ice user, it made his bike run leaner,

Picks up heat slow, but when it does actually heats up, the temperature takes a damn long time to drop. For me, i switched from regular coolant to waterwetter, it does serve me well. at least one thing i noticed, my radiator fan do not open so often now.
