    Coolant additives that improve heat transference

    Coolant additives that improve heat transference

    Actually water wetter is a surfactant and inhibits localized boiling in the head near combustion surfaces by altering the surface tension of cooling liquids.

    Brake fluid

    On my bikes with ABS (BMW/Harley), I bleed per non-abs brake procedure taking great care not to introduce air, then run down my gravel drive and activate the ABS several times, I then return and flush the brake system again. I also do my cages every few years or so
