[QUOTE="Redfish Hunter, post: 1146695, member: 28773"] I looked pretty carefully at the water pump on Patriot's ruined motor and it was leaking. The mechanic felt certain of this also. I believe that engine was around the 160K mile mark also. 160K miles would not be considered too early for an automotive water pump to go out in my mind. My truck redlines around 3K and my wife's car around 6.6K but they seldom spin anywhere near their redline. When I consider the 9K rpm redline on the FJR and how often it is spinning into its upper rev range, I think 160K miles is pretty darn good. I am guessing Ignacio is not really that unhappy with 160K. I personally wish I had time to put anywhere near that many miles on my bike. [/QUOTE]
