You could always just adjust the ECU so the fan comes on earlier.
You'd have to explain to me how much difference those hoses can make though, I find it spurious. Or is it one of those "up to!" headlines, like where lots of sports exhaust makers say "gain up to 25hp!!!eleventy1!" and in fact that's because the exhaust on a bandit 1200 is horribly restrictive and in that case it's true, but on anything else you just get s!$% fuelling and maybe 3hp top end (2% on an R1 or something similar)
i'll second that .... that advert reeks of sales patter and smoke blown up arses.
Might i suggest moving to antarctica???? your bike will certainly run cooler there and it might be cheaper than them hoses and associated shipping/import duties!!!
scratch the import ..... just noticed you live in the yoo ess of eh??
Third It, I did a coolant flush and replaced the stock Triumph anti-freeze with Motul Motocool Expert, Also as mentioned above, I used Tuneecu to drop the fan temp down from 103c to 99c,
I have notice even with just the coolant change that my bike runs one bar cooler on a run and slow moving traffic,
presumably that is the reason why it assists cooling.
I can only imagine it has a greater ability to wick away heat from the water/coolant or that it has a slippery surface which helps the water/coolant flow better and reduces pajama blockages and restrictions
i fitted motocool to my bike, it obviously didnt like it as it blew the headgasket after, the ine time i wished i wasnt so diligant with my maintenance
~EARL~: i fitted motocool to my bike, it obviously didnt like it as it blew the headgasket after, the ine time i wished i wasnt so diligant with my maintenance
Doubt if it was the antifreeze that cause the headgasket to blow, But possible a trapped air pocket,
1050's can be a sod to bleed, Took me longer to bleed the coolant system of air then time to replace the antifreeze,
Hey guys, just reading through the above, I have recently fitted trail tech vapor clocks on my t595, also installed the temp sensor into the rad hose, obviously when I loosened the hose clip and pulled the pipe off I lost some water, on completion I filled the rad and header tank and the rear back up, let it idle for a bit and topped the rad back up, is this ok or is there a certain way to bleed the system?
These bikes can be a bitch to get the air out.. You might be lucky..proof is in Thr pudding.. If it Doesn't overheat or run hotter you are ok But I would use the bleeder and give the hoses A good squeeze: The bleeder is that small bolt by the filler neck
2006 Speedtona. Samco hoses. Engine Ice coolant. Removed heat shield above radiator. Continuously stay above 30mph on 100 +deg. F = 82 deg. C indicated. Short version, if there is a difference, it is minimal.
That's because coolants like engine ice and Evans aren't as effective at removing heat as ethylene glycol/water and not even close to pure water or water/WaterWetter. They have a few other advantages such as higher boiling point but personally I think they're worse that just a waste of money, they're bad for performance.
