how many riding seasons long does engine ice last?
Bought it and got the dealership to do it last summer, figure it should be aight for this riding season but how long before I do another coolant flush? Thanks

You should still follow your owners manual's maintenance guidlines regardless of what coolant you have. I run the Engine Ice and I change it out every 2-3 seasons. it always looks brand new when I drain it. the system should only need flushed once, when switching from the green stuff to the engine ice. after that, you should be OK with a drain and fill (bleed too).
Engine Ice is good up to -26F. Also, Engine Ice is a propylene glycol base and does not mix well with the standard coolant ethylene glycol base.

That does hold true for the straight water with water wetter. that combo does keep engine temps cooler than engine ice, but having to deal with it freezing in the winter is not worth it. Honestly, I didnt notice much, if any drop in temps on my bike after switching to engine ice. Probably wont notice it for average street riding
