    Water pump mods?

    I am going to be pulling out my water pump and replacing all the gaskets and seals. While hunting around for info I've seen mention of re-loctiting a nut, adding a lock washer and maybe some other things. I did not see any write ups on what things should be done to help improve the water pump...

    water pump seals

    I'm replacing my water pump seals on my2017rc this weekend but have gotten conflicting directions on which way the seals face when installing. The flat side was originally facing inward which is opposite of what I usually see on motors. Does anyone know for sure?

    TIFU - Cooling System Edition

    Hey there. I went back about a years worth of posts and didn't see anything related to this, so I figured I'd start a new thread. First off, I'm a dumbass. Now that that's out of the way... I went to drain/flush my coolant to put in engine ice. I didn't realize until after the fact that there...

    should this plug be here?

    Hey guys, first post here, just picked up a used '15 RC last weekend and have been looking over it in the garage since I can't be out on it right now. When I went to fill up with gas the other day I noticed a bunch of water in the recess around the gas tank opening (under the gas cap) and the...

    Stock triple clamp top after wash

    I've just noticed for the second time after a wash in my regular washing hall (pressure wash, yeah yeah I know it's not the best for the bike) that the top part of the triple clamp gets seriously discolored when it dries up. I thought this was because I probably didn't `rinse the chemicals off...

    Coolant level... Water wetter question.

    So we all know this bike runs hot. Has anyone tried water wetter as a coolant yet to see if it makes a difference? I have used it in my other bikes and noticed some difference. Also, i just got my bike, only rode a few times so far but just noticed today that my coolant level is just above the...

    Texas Flood

    I'm sure most if not all have heard about the flooding we've had here in Central Texas of late. Here's what happened to one of the bridges that strings together a few entertaining roads... Who needs to wait for the Adventure 390 anyway! The RC can handle stuff like this, no problem! :) I've...

    And the problems begin.....

    3 race days. 2 real half track days. Water in the oil. Significant water (coolant) loss. Most likely bad gasket. I had a low oil pressure warning yesterday during the track day after 3 sessions. Brought it in and let it cool down and checked the oil level and it was fine if a little...
