Waterpump re-conditioning

Post by B-line »

Anybody had any luck getting one reconditioned ?, looks like one of the seals has gone in mine, I replaced the O rings but its still leaking, and I really dont feel like forking out $400 for a newie !

Thanks

Why not try Independant Motorcycle Werckers in Toowoomba- Warren should have a pump for you- he's pretty reasonable pricing wise too. :)
2 X ZRX1200R 4 X ER6N, GT550, 1988 ZX-10, 4 X GPZ250R, 4 X GPZ900R and GPZ750R :) Yeah I like Kawasakis.

Yeah saw Warren on monday all he has is some 2nd hand ones that he reckons are probably in the same kinda state, he suggested them as a last resort !, and if I cant turn anything up here I might just end up going that way !

Thanks for the reply

by the looks, there are 2 seals
- a gasket seal for the front outlet and a rear oring
to seal the back

Bryan,
where is it leaking..?
coz there are only 4 possible places...
pinhole in body or cover (alloy has corroded)
out thru the bearing
out thru the oring
out thru the front plate gasket

There is a "drainage outlet passage" at the bottom of the pump, and its leaking from there, both the O rings have been replaced so I can only assume it is the bearing seals that are gone, just took it for a quick test and it is not leaking badly but bad enough to worry ! so yeah looks like I need to either get it recond or a new one !

Now its slowed right up but its now a coolant/oil mix which is a worry, must be seeping thru the bearing, Ok the question still stands does anybody know where I could get it recond ??
