Mornin',
Recently just had my radiator back from repair to which the repairer has said that it was caused by electrolysis which can possibly come from shitty coolant. Now that i have the radiator back i'll do some testing with a multimeter tonight to see if it's a grounding issue from another component, but i thought i'd ask the question here: I use Engine Ice, and it was probably about 12 months old when the hole happened, has anyone else had electrolysis with engine ice? Or can someone recommend a different coolant? I'm really not keen on this happening again.

magnesium in the cooling system like the pump
cover? None of the bikes I've used it in have had
mag in them but I know its seems picky about certain
coolants and mag may like different PH values
than the normal all aluminum engine......not sure
just know mag can cause electrolysis issues.
Were diagnosing tonight to see if there is any stray current in the coolant. The speedo has been acting weird lately, flashing on and off, so i'm wondering if the electronics are on the fritz or not earthing properly, time will tell.
Engine Ice has saved a few of our motors over the years! Great Product!
