I have an 05 Troy Lee. It seems like the fan runs all the time. Is there any thing that I can do to help keep it cooler? Do the radiator shrouds help any?

The shrouds will help some. I got the best reults when I used Engine Ice.

Is engine ice a additive for the coolant? I believed alot of Mustang guys used a product by redline, but I'm not for sure how it would affect the engine. I guess I'll look into some shrouds.

shrouds are for SURE on a Predator! I also run two inline coolers that I picked up off ebay and they seem to help out a little but the engine ice is what I've found to have the best results.

Engine Ice is a direct replacement of the factory antifreeze. Remember, Water Wetter does not have any antifreeze properties.

Waloud, I live across the river from you but I know you can get it at S&S honda or Finish Line Motorsports in Clarksville, In.

My friend and I both ride 04 preds. Our bikes are very similar, as far as cooling except for the fact that he has the shrouds and one in line cooler. My fan runs all the time and his hardly ever runs. So my suggestion would be to buy the $15 in line cooler and get the $20 shrouds. I already bought the shrouds and will be putting them on today, I should have the cooler by next week.:D

I went to my dealer today. I ordered the polaris shrouds, engine ice and a UM swingarm plate. I'm hoping that I will have it by this weekend so that I can try it out. Thanks for the help.
