    [IMG][IMG]Since I'm about to go to a place where temperatures drop well below 25 degrees, I read the characteristics of the liquid recommended by the castrol. I noticed that as the freezing point to -25 degrees C. Tonight with my travel partner we bought her bike a motul you give it to -37, intrigued I stuck it in the freezer at -26 and in fact both the castrol was a nice ice cube. While the motul was still liquid. I ask you, there is' some contraindication in the second you put motul in our bike? Our bike has no magnesium crankcase right?

    XF+ waterless coolant from ZipTy. -40f to 375f and won't corrode your aluminum block. It's made by Evan's if you can source it over there???

    I do not know ..., I've never heard. But you say that the motul corrode aluminum? given to me a year just to aluminum radiators. Strange ... : (

    If it has water in it than it can cause corrosion over time. XF+ is waterless and doesn't require replacement for the life of the engine.

    I get it. Unfortunately, I think the motul is pre-mixed with water. What I have shown you is not here and now is toppo late to order it from America.
    I'll put the motul and then to the limit I will replace it later. Thank you so much for the information;)

    Eventually coolants like liquidintelligence and Evans XF+ will become "the Standard". :oldman: Allowing for smaller & lighter engines with reduced coolant capacity.
    Its expensive stuff, (at the moment) 1.5lt cost me $45, but I think worth the investment. The only down side is you can no longer add water (or shouldn't)

    It 's definitely the best solution! Unfortunately, as I said, I need soon and here it is. One question ..... the crankcase TR650 are magnesium or aluminum?

    Kind of both and kind of neither. We don't know what it is, some sort of weird alloy that doesn't transfer heat well. :excuseme:

    I'm pretty sure the TR650 engine is not exotic enough to be made from magnesium for weight reduction.

    We can weld Yamaha and most cases. Husky/BMW cases are something different.

    so you're telling me that it could be magnesium?

    No, we can weld magnesium, this is something else.

    ... therefore, it is not magnesium .... is not aluminum .... what the hell is it?? ... possible that we invented them a new alloy unknown?

    Unobtainium? Probably an aluminum based allow that is proprietary is my guess.

    It's a dirty magnesium alloy mix.
