No 100 day countdown to LRRS?

I think I filled mine up from a hose at Loudon haha, water wetter is expensive...

Spare no expense?

I guess I just don't trust only water. Anything that alters the characteristics of the boiling point, especially raising it. And also makes the heat transfer to the fluid better is a plus in my book.

Yes I know the radiator is under pressure, but it will vent more when the fluid is of a lower boiling point.

At the start of the year, I did fill it up with water wetter. During my race licensing day, I burnt up my clutch and had to swap the fibers. So I was forced to dump the water wetter out. So, we filled it up water in a pinch. Didn't have a reason to open that up again. Bike kept cool all year.

And now your radiator is 2 pounds heavier from all the minerals you deposited in there

Lucky for me, I got a new radiator this year

Expensive? Its $9 for a 12oz bottle ... and you use about 2oz each season (1oz per quart of water). That works out to about $1.50 per year. If that's expensive ... you may need to rethink your sporting choice ... just saying....

I was being facetious

Trust me, I know it's not cheap. I just got my motor built.

It works better if you do that BEFORE Daytona.

Then you needed to use the facetious emoji =

We have a font.

That's too much work. Especially on a phone.

I buy a gallon of distilled water from Walmart for a buck, put about 16 cap fulls of water wetter in it. That usually gives me enough to flush out the winter coolant, fill the cooling system and have some left over for periodic top offs through our the season.

And then I still have 2/3 of a bottle of water wetter left over.

Correction...distilled water is .88 cents at Walmart.

that's for a dirt bike. get 2 gallons for a real bike. one to flush and another to fill once done. you'll have some left over.
5 years later I still get slightly brown water when draining it in the fall. do NOT use tap water.

44 days

[Petorius]

Bikes going to GMD this weekend, still need to place an order with Woodcraft, find a new exhaust can, fix or replace my tail bodywork, repaint everything, and figure out what I'm going to do about a suit for round 1. The fact that I'm even thinking about this 44 days in advance is an improvement over last year.

[Kurlon]

I just sent a care package to GMD, another will be on it's way after a visit to Cabela's. I need to order brake rotors for my new wheels along with some misc OEM bits. I also need to start designing a replacement airbox and schedule some dyno time to see how a bigger carb fares, finish building my front end, and re-assemble the bike.

That's just the motard. The FZR needs some minor bodywork love, I need to determine if I'm going to replace the dead damper or not, dial in the new rear sets and new tires on Thur of the opening round.

So, am I to believe that you'll be out on the actual track this season? I'll believe that when I see it.....

[tsorfas]

Kawasaki needs: new graphics, suspension set up for the Isle of Man, adding steering damper, dyno, test in Jersey and then adjust and test again at NHMS. Then it ships.

R6 needs: front end suspension, proper rear spring, check all fluids, a new set of balls for me to ride it

I'm totally going out to dinner with BT1R at least once too. That was too damn fun last year.
