Coolant pump weeping

hpetru · Sep 29, 2022

Good day everyone
After inspecting my bike I found some coolant around pup weep hole.
Is that an early sign on pump failure ?
I noticed that the bike started to run hot, sometimes it get up to 104C on a stop light, dropping down to 99 / 98 after one minute of riding.

Thanks <3

one thing... there is a vent line right in front of that weep hole, towards the front of bike, that connects from the air box. Ive seen a very slight oil weep there and overtime kinda makes it hard to know if this is coolant or oil seep.

recommend you remove side panel, get your hands in there clean everything very well and then check it again after a ride....should be apparent where the source is.
there are multiple threads here that talk about coolant weeping from the hole you noted, and oil coming from the airbox bud.

Good luck

Thank you JAG for the answer, I will clean it up and check again <3

Check coolant level. Also, if you stop bike after it's hot do you ever hear boiling? If the coolant system is letting air in you might get overhearing and then i would definitely change the pump.

But yes, make sure the stuff is not just oil.

Hearing boiling on these things after riding is the gas boiling.

As JAG recommended I cleaned everything, rode that bike really hard last few days and looks like nothing is leaking, probably it was accumulated over the last few months
Thanks everyone for your replies <3
