Hay guys i have a water pump hose issue, which to be fair was completely my fault as i am a noob and just plain silly, but lets not get distracted by my studpity... Firstly, my bike was idling high around 3000 revs after i had the intake pipe replaced. I rode with it running high revs for a week :facepalm: .... anyway, i was heading home after work traveling on the motorway, 15mins later i felt a hot sensation on my leg right leg. I looked down to discover that the water pump pipe burst out of its hosing gushing radiator fluid everywhere. "Safely" maneuvering off onto the on ramp, i managed to tuck into a side strett where i could get some water into the radiator and i also jammed the pipe back into the casing.
Here is a link to the exact same problem - https://korider.com/index.php?topic=20219.0
Not sure what they are saying about the screws?????
The next morning i adjusted the idle to the right rev count. I now can ride around for bout 20mins before it starts to leak. From the link i provided, i am thinking firstly to buy some RTV silicone adhesive to repair it which i will do today.
Not completely sure how i should apply the silicone but im thinking that i could smear it on the pipe itself then jam it back in???
Ill see what happens then perhaps if it dosnt fix the problem ill go buy a radiator cap next and then lastly maybe a thermostat, which is like $81.50 hence why i wont get that till lataz. Ill inspect the water pump too.....
So for anyone thats having the same problem or has in the past, any help would be muchly appreciated!!!
