I'm thinking the trackbike has done a waterpump seal, how do I tell and what's the estimated repair bill.
Cheers.

Water and oil mixing. It's in a side cover, can be done yourself so seal, gasket maybe a water pump and your time. May not need a new pump, depending on how hot it's been allowed to get.

Re: What are the symptoms...
I've made sure it's never been hotter than three bars on the temp scale. Sightglass has white in it and when I open the throttle, it's like it's starving of fuel and the engine nearly cuts out.
Has anyone got a step by step on how to change a water pump or seal?
Cheers!

Re: What are the symptoms...
I saw a penquin once that blew a seal...however it turned out that the penquin only had icecream on his face.
I live with fear everyday but on weekends she lets me ride.

Re: What are the symptoms...
If it's breaking down and you have water in the oil, then it sounds like it's done a head gasket more so than a water pump. Might be pumping water into the chamber?Jonno wrote:Tack wrote:I saw a penquin once that blew a seal...however it turned out that the penquin only had icecream on his face.
