  6. On a heavily modified bike it may be worthwhile, but on a modern bike with the correct coolant mixed in the correct ratio it's really not necessary. If the stock system can't keep the engine cool something is probably not right, better to fix the fault than band aid.
     
  7. A friends mate had it in his Focus RS, drove out here to the Nurburgring, and had an issue on the motorway en-route. Cut a long story short , a hose split and dumped the Waterless coolant onto the exhaust, result was one written off car as the coolant happens to be flammable.
     
  8. I use waterless coolant on my sport classic.

  9. To me it's more about its anti-corrosion properties than anything else , can only be a good thing for the metal engine parts such as water pumps etc .... Got to be better for engine longevity ? ...

  10. That was my thinking. + you never need to change it.

  11. Had it in my Agusta 312rr as they were renown for running a little on the warm side, fitted an improved water pump impeller and the waterless coolant at the same time. Result was a great improvement but that could have been the pump the coolant or both.

  12. I ran a thread about exactly this a while ago...
    The biggest, supposed, benefit is that it doesn't expand when it gets hot.
    (I said "supposed benefit" as last time there were all sorts of arguments about that subject ).
