FLUIDYNE POWERSPORTS CONGRATULATES BRYAN SMITHON HIS HISTORIC INDY MILE WIN
. By Bikeland Staff
FLUIDYNE® Powersports is proud to have kept Bryan Smith’s Ninja 650-based flattracker running cool and consistent as he powered to an historic victory at the Indy Mile, Kawasaki’s first win in the premier AMA Grand National Twins class.
“If I can’t ride flat-out, the race is over,” said Smith, 27, a former Harley factory rider who has earned two other Mile victories, as well as an AMA 883 championship, Rookie of the Year honors and the Horizon Award in his young career. “I was wide-open around the Indy Mile for 25 laps and the bike never got over 200 degrees,” he continued. “Most of the bikes we compete against are air-cooled, so they lose power during the race. Cooled properly with a Fluidyne radiator, ours had the same power throughout each lap.”
Bill Werner, co-owner and tuner of the Monster Energy- and Kawasaki-sponsored team, is an AMA Hall of Famer who has wrenched to more than 130 wins and 13 championships. “Bless his soul, he can race his little heart out,” Warner said of his star rider. “A water-cooled motorcycle is only as good as its radiator. Bryan kept his cool and so did the Kawasaki, due to our Fluidyne Powersports radiator. Nobody’s laughing now. We’ve got a great setup now and I have high expectations for the rest of the year.”
