[QUOTE="karstenp, post: 1159654, member: 19112"] I had a water pump fail at about 45,000 miles. I rebuilt the pump and have had no problems for the past 50,000 miles. As already stated here, usually the pumps will leak for some time before complete failure. In my case the leak started just before a LD rally and I was able to ride about 2000 miles without a problem. However, you never really know for sure how long a "slow drip/seepage" will remain a "slow drip". Removing the water pump is not difficult. No need to remove radiator or exhaust pipes...just the side lower fairing as identified by FJR Flyer. If I had a spare around, and the time, I would replace it so as to have one less thing on your mind during the ride. [/QUOTE]
