Winter a race bike with a Raditor ?
 
Just wondering, you can't have anti freeze in a race bike raditor. How do you winter it ? Pour some in and empty it out next season, buy heating for the garage/shed. Or will it be ok in a shed over a English winter?

A strong Anti Freeze Mix and make sure you run it around the system for a while, As its also a corrosion inhibitor and will help protect your water cooling components.
Come the First meeting of the year on a couple of occasions I would run the bike up the day before leaving home to check all was OK, then drain the system and load up the bike.
Take to scrutineering with a dry system and then fill the system prior to practice.

It was -7 at Brands first race meeting last year & quite a few bikes froze up.

So stick some antifreeze in!!

You to Bradders as that 848 has been drained;)
