I don't think i'll run it 65 for a case of that stuff is crazy expensive for a few degrees diffence. I agree with Notstock doesn't sound like it worth the trouble of doing it.

In the summer it gets over 100 here in summer so I want to keep my bike as cool as I can. Its cheeper to run ice then stright water wetter. On the other hand I how cool the bike would be with stright water wetter.

I am in Eastern Tennessee we do get some hot temps in the summer but usually its around 90 -95 .Just concerned a bit because at times I've noticed the temp reaching 220-225 thru the traffic .

I run the engine ice in my atv and so does my buddy in his. both of our fans do not kick on as often. i have not put it in my 636 yet, only cause i was riding in the winter and wanted it to warm up more.

as far as where to get it. get it from my local bike shop. I believe Cycle Gear has it as well. i think i paid around $22. for a half gal.

i work for autozone and sorry candy we dont carry it. we do have watter wetter though

I tried it; not impressed. Bike seems to run at the same temps. Would like to try Water Wetter Next. Mine took only one bottle too. I think it's a1.8 Qt bottle.

from a site selling water wetter

For best protection for aluminum, replenish or replace every 15,000 miles. The anti-scaling ingredients in Red Line WaterWetter® allow its use with ordinary tap water. However, using with distilled or deionized water will accomplish some scale removal in the cylinder head area. Plain water with or without
WaterWetter® should not be used in cooling systems containing magnesium - antifreeze should be used - with WaterWetter®. For maximum temperature reductions use the most water and the least antifreeze possible to prevent freezing in your climate.

Does any one here run just water wetter? I know it would be more expensive but would it be worth it?

living in socal and doing track days i decided to leave distilled water and water wetter only in my bike. my bike runs noticeably cooler. we never see freezing temps so i can good with this combo. at $6 a bottle i would hate to see the bill for straight water wetter.
