Done!

Went for a short ride to get it to full temps. Dumped the oil when I got home and it was very clean. Feeling pretty good about the repair!

This is sorta like the belt drives needing to have the belts changed every 12K. So instead of that change the pump gears every 15K? The failure is partially heat related so if the bike never gets too hot they'll last a bit longer. I suspect you have been using the motor as intended (flogging it mercilessly). So one of those, next change will take half the time.
 
I am planning to replace the plastic drive gears before they fail with a set of metal gears I bought, see below. Has anyone had any issues with a water pump bearing failure with metal gears fitted?

To give the engine the best chance I plan to replace the water pump at the same time so if anyone has the part number for a Panigale 1299S 2015 I’d be grateful. Thanks.

Well--reading this thread has raised my concern level a bit. I've got a 2012 1199S--about 9,xxx miles. Considering replacing the plastic gears with above-mentioned metal ones. Can anybody here that has ordered these for US delivery share part #/vendor info? Thinking I may dig into the bike this winter and get it done--
SirJAG-James---did you go with metal or OEM plastic gears for your rebuild? You've since moved on to a V4 since this thread was created, right? LOL!
Many thanks,
Greg Giacona

yes i used replacement plastic gears! You wont know its an issue until it fails either...kinda ......, but the repair wasnt too bad if done yourself! otherwise its thousands at dealership!

Reading these and other posts on the nylon WP gear and idler I started getting VERY paranoid. My 2013 1199 has almost 28,000 miles on it. Never a problem but MAN I don't want one either. Just ordered the Steel Kamna set from Germany. Cost me $217 USD to my door. I'm not going to even start the engine until I get those gears replaced.
