Engine Ice Question...
Will be switching over from the factory green to engine ice soon for upcomming track days. I'm going with the engine ice because I ride hot or cold, and need the lower freezing point of engine ice (claimed -27 F). Guess my question is how often will engine ice have to be flushed out and add new engine ice? Does it last about a year or longer before it starts breaking down?

its glycol based antifreeze
they advertise that it works really really well (so it must be true, right?) but its still glycol based which means its still slippery and a b!tch to clean off a track so its usually not allowed and DEFINITELY not a good idea for a bike thats going on a track
stick with watter/water wetter and swap that for antifreeze in the winter

Oh, I thought that engine ice was allowed. I'll have to dig into that further to see if it is or isn't. I know water wetter is ok at all tracks, so maybe I should use that to be sure. I guess I can save my old antifreeze since it's an '07 bike and then swap it out before it gets cold, or just buy new again. Not very expensive anyway. Or switch to the engine ice for winter all together.
So, with water wetter, it's just a very small amount mixed with distilled water, right? Is that stuff good for corrosion protection on aluminum? Or is that not an issue?
