    Hey every-one, I am going to change the coolant soon on my wr150 and was wondering if any-body has used this before. I know there are other coolants out there but I am interested in comments good or bad about this particular one. Thanks:cheers:!

    I can't imagine needing anything but regular coolant? my 125 runs cool no mater the temp or how much I beat on it.I have friends that use it in their KTM's and it seems to do the job fine.

    Engine ice is great stuff, all the ktm owners I know with their orange tea kettles love it.

    I have never boiled my 125, it rarely gets above 120 degrees on my temp gauge and the highest I have seen is 180.

    Engine ice may be overkill.

    Jake kind of hit it on the head. Great stuff but don't know that you need it with the small bores. I rarely can get my 165 over 180. I still use engine ice simply because I have been using it for years in everything. There are a number of products that work great but just not sure you will need them.

    Thanks guys, I have never had any over-heating issues with my wr and don't feel that special coolant is necessary for it but I am also changing the coolant in my husaberg 450 four-stroke. I had my 'berg boiling pretty good on a nasty ride last year and I was going to use the same coolant in both bikes.:cheers:

    I use it in my son's CRF450R and it does a good job. My WR250 has never even hinted like it wanted to overheat and would probably be fine with creek water and a packet of mustard for color.

    Here's a thought, although Engine Ice is 26.00 a half gallon or so I prefer to use it for its safety factor. Propelene-glycol is non-toxic compared to ethelene glycol. Now you may ask how does that affect me, well... Last weekend riding out in the spanish springs area of Sparks, Nv I was chasing some local fauna up a hillside and at the top my radiator crossover tube blew a hole straight up. Within seconds i was coated from my forehead down to the seat with that sweat tasting blue stuff. The first thought was not how would i get back to my truck but how toxic was the coolant to my system. Ive seen what a small amount of antifreeze can do to a Dog (someday I'll catch the bastard that did it). I'm no tree hugger by any means but if I can avoid polluting my world I try.

    i use it in both my bikes for the same reason timpjr points out... biodegradable and non-toxic.

    I'm using it also. The dealer near me has it on sale twice a year for $18.00.
