I take it you're talking about 'Water Wetter'? Never tried it but (they claim) it works by lowering the surface tension of the coolant to get better heat transfer. Not really an issue on the Z1300 in the UK climate. But I have seen on the US site air scoops either side of the rad to direct more air through it, custom-made rads to increase cooling & even oil coolers. Also fitting the Voyager/ZG fan switch brings it in sooner than the KZ/Z one by about 10 degrees I think.
