Waterless Coolant By acvw74 (Read 788 times)

Hello everyone,

New to the forum but not to scoots, owned several over the last 30 years.

My daily rider until recently is a Icebear Maddog - with a BBK and taller gears.

Last week I picked up a 07 JMStar JSD250 (How I found the site) cheap with low miles. Rode it home, it ran rough the CDI was in failure mode and died after state inspection requiring me to push it home. One issue I noted while it was running was the temp...it was running just below the red except at highway speeds. Had to replace the cooling fan...still finding temps near the red.

So after a bit of searching - I found waterless coolant may be part of the answer...it has a much higher boiling point so the cooling system doesn't go under pressure - It should help save hoses, seals and gasket. It is also suppose to be more effective coolant and kinder to aluminum.

Has anybody had any experience with waterless (Evans) or used it?

One more question - It looks like there should be some shrouding to "duct" the air through the rad...it looks too easy for the air to go around. I thought I had seen a shroud for the rad..but now I can't find it.

Sorry for the long first post...Thanks in advance!

I been using it for 2 years in my 3 Zodiac's by Ice bear the water less stuff if great in parades while many others over heating we are still going with no temperature change. But remember it costs and you need to use it's pre wash it get out all water in system but in long run it pays you back because it's life time no need to change it out. As far as your shrouds I can't say mine have none. Evens is the best as far as I'm concerned. Heck if Jay Leno would put it in his big buck cars it's good for me also LOL
