Yes that helped I'm in canada so I guess I run rad fluid especially since I can't have the water freezing when I store my bike in my cold ass garage! Lol keep up the great work you have lots of followers now, I love your vid's you guys have giving me the confidence to do this stuff myself! Thanks again!

@markus0933 Yeah, you would want to continue to use rad fluid. There is no problem at all using rad fluid, we just choose not to down here in the Texas heat since going with water and the "Water Wetter" alone makes the bike run a bit cooler. It doesn't have anti-freeze powers though. And thanks for the compliment! Be sure to see our website and become an "R1 Insider" and of course, email us anytime if you have a question or need a tip.

so you drained your rad fluid (green rad fluid?) then filled it with just water? does the r1 just run on water not actual rad fluid? im confused/.

@markus0933 yes, we do that so the R1 runs a hair or two cooler. We only use water and a product called "Water Wetter" as seen in the vid. However, this method will not keep your fluids from freezing. You should use radiator fluid if that works best for you. You can run it either way though, this is just a mod we do. We are in Texas and keep our R1's out of the elements so we don't need to run radiator fluid in our bikes. That help?

great explanatory vid, btw do you have to raise temperature with radiator cap off and let it bubble out? are you not wasting product? cheers

[R1VideosdotCom]

@descern3 nah, not really wasting product since you cut it off as soon as it bubbles and add more water (we use water because it doesn't really freeze in Texas)

Im Maryland our weather is very spontaneous, regular 50/50 Radiator fluid will be jus fine for those freezing nights

@descern3 we will add this to the list of video requests for you. the next to come out have already been shot and are still needing to be edited. They are about changing break pads, break fluids, and installing steel braided break lines. More to come! Thanks for watching!

[descern3]

Excellent vid, could you perform or show a diy maintenance of the necessary checks, replacements of fluids on a R1 06 nearing 35000ks? :)
