It sounds like you might have an air bubble. I've ran it in 2 bikes so far, and both of them took quite abit longer to warm up after I put it in.

Also did you flush out your existing coolant thouroughly before putting the engine ice in? Engine ice isn't compatable with regular antifreeze. So if there was any green antifreeze left, it could be reacting with the Engine ice.

That's what I was thinking.

I swear by Engine Ice for my Ducs...
