Getting a little jump, so when the first of you get your new water-cooled 650 or 1250, there'll be a place for you to post.

water-cooled 650 or 1250

I went for a pretty long ride this morning, got home and washed my Bandit down, thus cooling the motor with water....does that count?   :wink:

Sure.  Plus, I'll be posting here all the time.

Oil IS a liquid, you know! (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y297/DesolationAngels/Emoticons/BanditRider.gif)

Of course oil is a liquid... or at least I hope so. Pretty catastrophic to mechanical things when it turns solid.
I've seen the results before and it's not pretty - or cheap.

... but the name of this section is WATER cooled, not liquid cooled.  :stickpoke:

 :duh: Some people's kids...  :monkeymoon:

:shock: Well, I'll run the risk that we really take this thread down a poor track. Red01 will have to edit this all out at some point :stickpoke:

The new Bandit likely uses at least 40% (likely 50 or even 60%) ethylene glycol mixed with that water, thus turning it back into a Liquid Cooled Engine. Of course the track day guys may convert it to a "water cooled" for the day.

But yup, oil when it gets solid, or even too thick causes lots of grief. Seen it WAY too may times...
