no need for scoops, no need for fins, no need for front mounts. a $50 fan fixes the heat issues

show up to any respectable trackday with your regular coolant in the bike and see how far they let you go into the track


i run engine ice, no fans and removed all the plastic fins and crap under/front of the fairing around the rad area...bike has ran cool as hell in 100+ temps at track days since 2001.

For the VERY VERY rare street outing, i just keep the bike moving and it stays cool... stop and go is murder without fans, but i only take her out to move oil around between long gaps in tack days.

Not sure that holds true everywhere. Show up at a NESBA event with Engine Ice and you'll get denied while they let the Beginner/Intermediate groups ride with regular antifreeze. Most of the track orgs in the Northwest do not have a problem with antifreeze.
