Im not saying that an engine water temp will reach 190 degree’s C either,but it is nice to know that it will boil at a higher temp and thus offer far greater confidence when the going gets tough
I am a mechanical engineer of 30 years as well and have studied thermal dynamics What I am saying for $35 a litre give it a try if it works great! if not what have you lost?Ps I like the pretty pictures

So we all agree it works :laugh: I will put it in my 650 when I rebuild it next year based upon what I had heard about it before and Huskyblokes recommendation
Catch bottle yeah how good are they
What sort of truck do you drive Huskybloke?

I had a 07 525 & my current 09 530 both fitted with ktm thermo fans.Expensive but well worth it.Even in summer 30c+ on single trail in the sand dunes of stockton beach no overheating.Well worth the investment.
Just a note, if you fill the radiators more than 15mm above the fins the expansion will overflow onto the exhaust & cause steam.This can be mistaken for a boiling bike.Just my 2 cents worth
Joeyou couldnt mistake that bloody husky the overflow bottle was directly under the left leg and would steam out straight onto your leg

Ollie this is one time i will have to agree with TB if you run a engine at anything over 120deg c you will be killing it stop the engine and wait for it to cool down or fit a fan i dont run any kind of coolants as there all foaming agents and cause realy bad water pump cavation
the most unreliable part of a cooling system is the cap i replace mine reguarly and it only takes a small amount of junk under the suckback valve and there will be coolant spewing out at a lot less pressure than what the 1.4 -1.8 pressure its suppose to hold
