Thanks, Grunter.....won't be going that sealer route.
Came across a youtube that helps to see a bit what's involved although it's based on a water pump removal from a K1100LT. Will crack out the Cly ...

I appreciate the thoughts. The bike had a over-heating problem a few months ago and am needing to get it on the road to sell it. I am not able to ride a RS like I used to. My wrists and lower back and ...

Any reason one couldn't try using a radiator stop-leak product like Bardahl?

Recently had the same problem. Found that Motobins in England had what I needed at the best price.

They have a water/oil pump rebuild kit as well as new pumps.

Unsure of doing the rebuild prope ...

You guys are terrific, most helpful, thanks so much!

With this drip, is there danger of water getting into the oil system?

Or a corroded shaft in the oil/water pump. ....which doesn't sound good. That sounds like a show-stopper. Unknown territory here for me. Are parts available? I do have a Clymer and tools.

Noticed a leak here this morning from a "weep hole"?....

I take it this means a bad water pump seal?

Thanks Jim. Will be looking into it in a few days.

Noticed the other day while in stop and go traffic that the cooling fan would not come on. Fortunately I was able to get back up to highway speed in a few moment's time to see the engine temp drop bac ...

Thanks for the replies. The front and back brakes were just flushed with new fluid about 400 miles ago. Have some new front disc pads due in next week. Will try Grunter's advice then follow with a goo ...

The front left caliper is a bit sticky, not wanting to release its grip right away. Since there are no leaks from the calipers, can one open them up to clean and use the same seals?
Mileage unknown.. ...

Thanks, no need to...it's fixed and on the bike. Zero cost.

I purchased .080 thick plastic at Lowes for $3 and the replacement fix went well as pictured above. Thanks again.

What exactly is that plastic from Lowes? Just wondering so as not to wander the ...

Jim and Bob, thanks for the information. Maybe the Sealmate will cure the issue for now.

How many miles.
I'd probably suggest you replace the brass slider bushings as well as the seals.
Otherwise if you just replace the seals, and not the worn bushings, you will just develop a new leak ...

Hi, I'm having now to address the front forks since they've been leaking fork oil from the boot for some time now. I see there's a myriad of internal fork parts on the parts fiche for the bike.

Wh ...

Ya learn something every day. Thanks.
Onward through the fog.

I stand corrected. Strange, though to me, that by sending fluid back into the reservoir when the lever is pulled that it would lesson the hydraulic effect on the disc brakes. I dunno.

Just thinking, is that the fluid return? When you release the brakes fluid has to flow back to the reservoir somehow. I know when you pimp the brakes with the cover off, brake fluid squirts up.
