Yes I was thinking about water wetter actually. Is there a certain year voyager switch I should look for ? I still have'nt run the bike yet since I got it home. Been busy with other things. Would like to get it on the road soon since I have'nt ridden it in a few weeks now. Thanks

: 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.

: I have to my klr but not sure about this

: I have a tendancy to leave everything as
: stock as possible if it's a real low mileage
: bike which this one is. Although I did swap
: out the coils on it but had no choice if I
: wanted to ride. Can always just use it at
: dusk like my triples

: I was wondering if anyone uses additives
: they
: have for the cooling system? I just brought
: my bike from seattle,wash. down home to
: tucson Az. The desert is hell on my atv and
: klr. I've added it to them but does'nt seem
: to make a difference. I just dread boiling
: this over if I have it out in the summer. It
: being in the 100's for months on end is'nt
: good for any machine. Thanks for any info
