Hi,

this seal failed on my KR1S.

Now got hold of this new seal, it looks different from the one that was fitted:

It consists of two parts:

Is it the correct seal to use? I suppose the rubbery seal points to the impeller?

Thanks,
Charles

you're sure, Jan?

Dismantled another waterpump today, found the above seal (or whatever it is) in the back of the impeller:

Can any confirm this? Perhaps Howie, he posted a pic of his impeller lately IIRC.

thanks,
Charles

that is the correct seal charles, rubber side facing out to the impeller just rebuilding my engine[total strip down done on my bike] wait until you all see it, how it was before is nothing to how it will be when finished]
