Water in gearoil - ONLY possible from water pump?
Posted: Fri May 31, 2013 9:08 am
Just got a licence plate for my KR1 yestoday, and took it for a long run. First run after overhaul of KIPS valves, brakes and WATER PUMP. Great bike!!
When I came home, I could see that the brand new red gearoil had turned into a milkshake pink colour
Sad - because I bought a new (used but good) waterpump shaft this wither + mechanical seal, oil seal and O-ring - so it all should be good
Anyway - my question is:
Is the waterpump the only place where the oil and water can meet? Or have I forgotten something?
I am about to tear the pump apart again - but just need a few suggestions beforehand... Anyone?
