| greeting question for the forum users experienced course I have a small problem with the water pump I see that on the part of the machine precisely to invest a little out of liquids. If you accidentally seals replaced, a little to help me otherwise the temperature was ok so I do not doubt the correctness of the pump itself mean that a gasket If there are pictures even better thanks in advance |

| I can't help you much on the Silverwing water pump but have done a good bit of work in the Goldwing 1100 and 1200 pumps. One important thing about coolant for these bikes is to make sure the anti-freeze contains NO silicates. A lot of coolant does have this additive which is designed to reduce corrosion in aluminum engine blocks. Unfortunately the stuff scours the waterpump and can damage the main seal. There should be a weep hole under the pump housing, if coolant is seeping out of that hole it's an indication of a bad main seal. The pumps are not designed to be repaired though I know some GW owners have done that but results aren't usually too good. If it's not leaking too rapidly you can just keep some mixed coolant in a bottle on the bike and add as needed but eventually the pump may need to be changed. Don't use any kind of chemical or powder stop leak stuff on the engine because it can cause more problems than a bad pump. |
