Bike Prep Question

Is it mandatory to replace the antifreeze? I will be riding the bike to the track (about 55-60 miles?)

I use the Low-Tox antifreeze which I believe has little E-Glycol in it.

Re: Bike Prep Question

Yes, please. It'd be great not to lose an hour plus while they try to wash off the antifreeze from a crash. That's one way to become the "track toolsack" - ruin half a day by not following the track prep rules. I'm putting Engine Ice in at Steve @ Superbikes recommendation.

I'm running water wetter, and my bike runs cooler by about 5-10 degrees.
