Water Pump

I was at the track last weekend and my RX started leaking coolant out of the weep hole on the water pump. What do I need to replace inside before I tear it apart.

Lots. I recommend looking at the manual on Buellmods.com and getting any/all gaskets. Also re-torque the crank nut while you're in there using Loctite #648.

The water pump gear needs to be aligned when reinstalling. Put a small rod or screwdriver through the weep hole to align with the dot on the gear. Make sure the front cylinder is at TDC, usually accomplished with a crank lock tool during disassembly.

I can find pics if necessary.

Plan to lift the frame off the engine. It's tedious, not difficult. I can do it all in a day, while the sun's out, start to finish; though I am rather mechanically inclined and have amassed tools.

I sent a message to EBR in hopes they can put together a purchase order with all the pets needed. I’m not to worried about the process I just didn’t want to not have all the parts once I got in there. Thanks for the advice and will reach out once I get parts figured out.
