My questions is do any of you guys use motul mocool? if not then what do you use. Because thats what i was thinking of using as i have heard it was good.

    I use 50/50 glycol coolant. Your thermostat regulates the temperature so unless you're overloading the system then nothing is going to work any better than anything else. If you want to change it every year go for water wetter and such, otherwise just put regular coolant in it and change it every 2 years like you're supposed to. If its a track bike then you have other options since you can't use glycol based coolant.

    only thing i heard about using regular coolant is you need to use bike formulated coolant because of the ingredients. they differ from bike to automotive formulas. i read a little about water wetter and how it was pretty good. i am pretty OCD about maintenance. hell the bike was fully done about 2 months before i got it but i want to do a few things cause thats how i am lol. a waste of money, maybe but it helps me relax a little knowing its fresh.

    I've never heard of any real difference between bike coolant and car coolant.

    It doesn't matter if there was synthetic oil in it or not. You can switch to synthetic at any point and switch back if you want to. The hype about not doing that is complete BS and is not in any way true.

    x2 for engine ice...helps the motor run a little cooler AND is legal for %90 of the tracks/strips if you happen to end up there within the next year or two.
