yea, I didnt mean use together, I meant one or the other...

 

No, I know. I was just pointing that out to the MASSES in general.

 

ahh okay!!

 

First of all, New to the forum, so what better way to say hi then to dig up history (2010 thread) ^_^. Got myself into the CBR600RRs (2009) and I love it!

I found this post while searching the capability of Engine Ice vs OEM coolant and wanted to at least leave my share. I ride everyday 100mi round trip in Phoenix; Highways I average a temperature of 176-180 degrees, light-to-light I can get upwards of 225 (never more than that), with this said I am running HP Coolant (stock blue stuff). Note this is also summer here in PHX so temps are about 100-110 outside in the afternoon ride home.

I am curious to (besides dig up this old post) know what temps you'll run on a day-to-day basis? Whats the temps you run in and how does the bike react? What coolant type do you use? From what I have seen engine ice runs about the same as my claims and I am running stock coolant.

Thanks all! I will be looking forward to learning a lot from you everyone!

First off, this is the F4i forum, not the RR forum, so our running temps don't exactly line up with yours. I too am in phoenix, daily commute even when its 114* out, and use oem coolant. I've never overheated. I've never gone above 225* for that matter. I only use water wetter for my trackbike as coolant is not allowed on track.

 

Understood, we do have different motors. I figured it was a track thing for grip/spills mainly but I see so many people saying they run WW or EngIce because it runs cooler; I don't believe that seeing and reading what I have.
