Are you running coolant in their Matt?

I run straight DI water and Water Wetter and get the same goo...

About time on that Stage II...LOL

interesting... maybe one weekend you can flush the system and see if there is a lot of particulate.

Sorry to thread jack, but do you notice a difference with Water Wetter? Is it worth it?

GoodTimes · 06-11-2008, 11:37 AM

Yeah im running 50/50 mix and water wetter. so the goo is normal?

Kylipso · 06-11-2008, 11:39 AM

oh thats probably not the best idea as water wetter is meant to be run with straight water.
but ive never seen the goo in any of the bikes ive run the water wetter, in only when mixed with reg coolant it forms a kind of scum.

Its the difference of a few degrees. I think its some cheap HP. Though its likely a .010 of a horse or something...

I had the goo until I flushed it completely. When I did my first change I didn't have a pan to safely flush it so I just said F it and put in the water and the pink stuff.

WaterWetter® is a unique wetting agent for cooling systems which reduces coolant temperatures by as much as 30ºF. This liquid product can be used to provide rust and corrosion protection in plain water for racing engines, which provides much better heat transfer properties than glycol-based antifreeze. Or it can be added to new or used antifreeze to improve the heat transfer of ethylene and propylene glycol systems. Designed for modern aluminum, cast iron, copper, brass and bronze systems. Compatible with all antifreezes, including the latest long-life variations.

FYI Matt. Your okay.
