coolant
 

for my trackbike should i be using standard coolant or water wetter? do circuits specify?

use what you like. dont think circuits sprecify anything special for trackdays.

excellent

coolant it is then


will be finished tonight

Circuits HATE coolant, it can't be cleaned up like oil and I believe it's banned on some tracks on the continent - and they check. I'm going to be using distilled water in the beast.

not so excellent then yeti!

are you using a rust inhibitor and where do you get distilled water from?

Yes at the moment it does have rust inhibiting coolantm and I'm getting the distilled water out of my dehumidifier. It's about as pure as you can get. Failing that most garages/battery shops will sell you some for two thirds of f**k all.

Notwithstanding all of the above, I have never heard of any UK circuit checking on a track day.

is that for a dd bike yeti?

Not aware of any trackdays stipulating water only, but......... If you are going to run water only, distilled or otherwise, drain and flush the system regularly.
It doesn't take long to start clogging the cooling system up, especially the rad.
The corrosion also eats away at the mechanical seal behind the pump impeller and then you'll be running water/oil in your cooling system ;)

btw dickie - booked the 18th at cadders - never been there - would be good to meet and get some advice re lines / etc

cheers nelly - will bear that in mind

btw i forgot about coming back about the 748 evo no plate hanger - are they still in stock? whats your contact number?

DD bikes are air cooled ;)

of course - sorry - totally absorbed with the fizzer rebuild and so forgot about the 600ss!

yeah you and me both! :lol::lol::lol:

I'm running the beast at Cadders on the 26th if you're interested in joining me for a blast.

Think I just about know my way round there now :sing:

Just done my first track day at Oulton Park last Friday on a mates J reg ZXR 750. What a great day! So now that I am hooked can anyone give me advice on crash protection for my 1995 900ss ie where to obtain, how to fit. I want to do some tracks but I want to minimise damage if I slide off the thing. Btw it dont have the 2 front side fairing panels fitted. Cheers, Bri.
