Engine Ice.. and other Coolants.



Ahh just like every engineer I have ever worked with. Their research and experience is called into question and they get defensive. With a little respect, you can throw some sarcasm, very little though.

You can keep your beat release, I'll stick with my 15 years racing water cooled dirt bikes, 30 years driving water cooled vehicles and 25ish years riding water cooled motorcycles to know what works for me. Beside with your attitude, i wouldn't consider your product on that alone.

I guess all those years of college did nothing for your social skills.

The Evans coolant came up in my research and I was getting pretty excited about it. With a Samco kit that gives you lifetime hoses and lifetime coolant… sounds good! The reasons I decided against it:

  1. It is not remotely cost competitive. It's about $90 (US) to make the switch. That's easily 10-20 years of regular coolant changes.
  2. From many reviews and discussions I read, there's a decent chance the bike will run hotter.
  3. You do not have the option of topping up with water out on the road. You can only add more Evans if you ever spring a leak.
So for those reasons, I'm still planning to upgrade to the Samco kit, but will skip the Evans.
