Beat the Heat: Summer Cooling Tips for Your Machine

Stay Cool, Ride Longer, and Protect Your Engine All Summer Long

Summer riding season is here—and while the long days and warm temps make for epic adventures, the heat can take a serious toll on your machine. When the mercury rises, your engine works harder, and without the right care, it can lead to performance issues, overheating, or even damage.

Fortunately, with just a few smart steps, you can keep your engine running at peak performance—even in the hottest conditions. Here's how to ride harder, longer, and cooler this summer:


✅ 1. Run Engine Ice Hi-Performance Coolant

Your first line of defense against overheating is what you put in your radiator. Engine Ice is specifically formulated to reduce operating temperatures and prevent heat fade. Whether you're racing, trail riding, or just cruising, this is a must-have for consistent performance under pressure.


🔧 2. Keep Your Radiator Clean

Airflow is everything. Dirt, mud, and debris can easily clog your radiator fins, drastically reducing cooling efficiency. After every ride, take a few minutes to inspect and clean your radiator to keep the air flowing freely.


🛞 3. Inspect Hoses and Clamps

High temperatures can cause rubber hoses to soften, crack, or leak. Before each ride, check for wear and make sure all hose clamps are tight and secure. A quick pre-ride check can prevent a mid-ride breakdown.


🛢️ 4. Change Your Fluids

Old oil and coolant lose their effectiveness, especially in the heat. Regular fluid changes not only improve overall engine efficiency but also help dissipate heat more effectively. Stick to your maintenance schedule—and consider shortening intervals during extreme conditions.


🌬️ 5. Keep the Air Moving

Heat builds up quickly when your bike is idling. Avoid long periods of sitting still, especially in tight trails or traffic. Keep moving when you can, and shut down the engine if you’re stopped for extended periods.


Bottom Line:
When the temps soar, proper maintenance and smart riding habits make all the difference. Stay ahead of the heat this summer by preparing your machine with the right products and precautions. Engine Ice has your back—so you can focus on enjoying the ride.

Ride smart. Ride cool. Ride Engine Ice.
