Water pump replacement
Posted: Fri Jan 25, 2013 3:01 pm
G'day all, took Daisy on her first long run after her re build (covered about 600kms) and she didn't miss a beat. Got admiring looks from just about everyone on the road and at the servos. Got a few grumbles since tho, coming from engine somewhere. I initially thought it was from the clutch slave piston mod that I did (bearing failure) but after I took the fairings off it was clearly not coming from that side at all. Noise seems to be coming from water pump. Can anyone please tell me if I need to replace the whole shaft with impeller or if I can get away with just replacing the bearing? If not, does a late model impeller and shaft fit or is it 906 specific? Any advice would be appreciated.
By the way, the clutch mod. using the 900SS slave piston and the roller skate bearing works a treat. I've done 5000kms with it and upon looking at it today it looks like I did it yesterday with no mushroom wear and bearing spins freely (I used NSK cost me $4) for a grand total of $54... I had trouble getting neutral until I bled system properly and got that pesky air bubble out up the top by taking lever off and pointing it at the roof while depressing a bunch of times
The CBR600 radiator cap conversion is also working well. Thanks again for that one
