[QUOTE="FLBob, post: 232552, member: 23588"] It's really amazing how two (or more) intelligent people (based on their other posts here) can disagree on stuff. I love it! Heat transfer is a very complex issue, so it's not surprising to see many opinions and mis-conceptions. I'm no expert but I will say that the change in temperature (fingers or coolant) is only a part of the equation. I have to believe that a bike, without a thermostat, operating in 90 degree air will have a different operating temperature than the same bike in 40 degree air. My questions are: 1) What effect will there be in performance, if any? 2)Would a thermostat correct any difference? Also, I read the info at Stewart components and they say that plain water (with a rust inhibitor) is the best coolant-they tested all of the additives- no improvement. I thought the consensus here was that Water Wetter, etc. helped? [/QUOTE]
