Water pump
« on: January 31, 2015, 03:06:01 PM »
Curious for those of you that have had to replace the water pump, at what mileage did you replace the water pump?
My '87 LT has 66K on it and I was wondering when most of you had replace the water pump.

I just replace all sealants after 100K km. The leak was pretty small but annoying.

Thanks for the reply. The bike is my day to day bike so I need it to be reliable as possible.

Mine started leaking at 120k miles.

Had it overhauled at 125k. The shaft was in poor condition.

Thanks Tim. I despise breakdowns so I try to take care of the old warhorse.
