I hear engine ice does work however, it doesn't have the rust inhibitors that your regular coolant has. Some race tracks require the system to be filled with either Engine Ice or Water with Water Wetter. I myself run distilled water and water wetter because I have been doing mostly track days. I have noticed that my temps run about the same as with coolant however, when my fan comes on, the temp drops a lot faster than the coolant mixture did. Coolant does not dissipate heat as well as engine ice or water wetter does. It's entirely up to you. I think Arson is running Engine Ice in his bike. He would be a good source.

What oil did you end up using?

I ended up with Rotella T6. Not sure if I notice any major difference in shifting.
K&N oil filter

Guess my next question is what's the easiest way to drain out coolant. I think I'll YouTube that one....

What do you recommend for tire pressure? I was told 36 front 42 rear.
Thoughts?

36/42 seems high for a sport bike... I run mine at 32 across the board and never had a handling or traction issue (except in the wet but my tires are done for so i chalk that up to that).
