Husey fe450e DOES NOT overheat

All I can say is this bike is AWESOME!!! After flushing, bleeding the cooling system and mixing the coolant about 60/40(h20) and adding extra anti-cavitaion agents the bike does not even push a drop out. . This raised the boiling point enough yet still has good heat transfer ability. It seems to work good for me.
The trail that use to spank my dream machine now doesn't phase it, no fan and even changed my gearing back to 13/48 from 13/52...YAHOOOOO!!!! I live at 8,000 feet and ride upwards to 12k. The bike has about 40hrs and 800miles. She's a full on ripper, I can't even find any way to modify it at this time. This READY TO RIDE facet makes the bike well worth the extra initial expense.

set-up:
coolant- green ethylene glycol mixed 60/40 with anti-cavitaion additive
oil- shaeffer 15w-40 semi-syn diesel oil, s.s. oil filter
gearing 13/48
Akra Ti can
jetting- haven't touched it, fritz said he set sold it to me(new) one up pilot, one down main, from from stock. Always starts good hot/cold; stalled hot etc.
fuel screw extra 1/4 turn out over stock
Scott's steering stabilizer
Pro-taper woods HIGH bar(bent magura first ride :evil: )
Checked valve clearances at 25 hours-still spot on

Any one else with a great improvement in overall bike performance after 20 or so hours?? Maybe I just ride alot faster now?? All I can say is WOW!! I love my steel horse!!

Carquest Cooling System Treatment part#89058
I believe BG makes An excellent additive too. My thinking is diesels need an additive due to compression ignition(20 to 1), the 450 has 13 to 1 compression ratio, very high for spark ignition. My science might be invaid, but i believe high compression gassers with cylinder sleeves may experience a similar phenemenon. While cavitation erodes blocks and sleeves, I believe it also affects cooling system efficiency. The air bubbles from cavitaion may be a catalyst to over-heating, especially in a system that holds roughly only 1L. If someone out there knows differently please educate me.

thanks

It is an alkali based inhibitor, the number I posted is the one the bottle. I am at home and will check tuesday when I return to work. I think it is a substitute for the D.C.A. capsule present in cooling system filters.
