I may be switching to water my next oil change for the hotter temps within the next couple of months. Who else is running straight water with an additive? Does it help with the recovery temp?
My Duc 851 would get as high as 240 in traffic... I switched to engine ice - it still go as hot be recoverd to normal temp quicker - the motor was pretty heavily breathed on:-). It also ran cooler in normal operation180 vs 210.
added race fuel...brought the temp down further... (slower burning)
