Guest Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 Hi all!!! Im new to the forums and need a bit of advice about my bike ... here are my problems...its leaking water through the over flow pipe constantly,theres a little hole at the bottom of the water pump and theres water leaking from there too, can i do anything about this without changing the pump??Because of the loss of water will this affect the way that the headgasket works causing overheating??? As ive gone through 3 top end headgaskets??Hope one of you kind people can help!! Ta! Jamie Quote
Guest Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 SOunds like the bike needs a good service,The leaky water pump will cause over heating blowing the gaskets and if your not carefull will cause more serious problems if not put right. The only way to put this right and cheapest way in the long run is to replace the water pump. (should be easy enough to get a second hand one) Quote

As ive gone through 3 topendheadgaskets??yes you will end up cooking and seizing the motor i would advise you have the head skimmed as i think you'll find its warped from over heating thus changing the gasket wont helpHope one of you kind people can help!!
