Easiest Way To Fix A Leaking Water Pump On A Dirt Bike!

How I changed the outer water pump seal on my 2006 Yamaha YZ450F. The process is the same for most bikes. Simple to do with common hand tools! I also upgraded my radiator hoses to silicone!
What I used:
M12 e-ratchet
amzn.to/3AfwNfu
Water pump rebuild kit
amzn.to/4fqw0bH
Tusk silicone hose kit
amzn.to/3Yu2R9d
Water wetter
amzn.to/3SBzSMV
Coolant
amzn.to/3LOTfhY
Ninja coffeemaker

If its leaking from the weap hole what seal is it ?

[@UncleMike1776]

@@Official_prod.bspekter more than likely a bad impeller shaft seal

Thank you for the useful advices. I have a 2005 WR450F, i had the water pump completely changed beacuse of some leaking coolant from the weep hole, once i had it changed it stopped leaking. Yesterday i started the bike, and suddenly i pulled the gas throttle to the limiter like for 2 times... what a stupid idea: the bike was leaking again from that little hole. Now i'm buying the esternal seal and i'm trying to fix it, i hope so 🥴. We'll see! Saluti dall'Italia 🤙🇮🇹

my lil brother bike is leaking anafreeze from the water pump is this a serious problem?

[@UncleMike1776]

@@tomconner2355 It can be a potentially serious issue, as a malfunctioning water pump can cause your engine to overheat and result in damage to the engine! Best to get it fixed as soon as possible!

Can you do a video on how to install front turn signals, i have a 2007 Nightster 1200 and need to install front signals for inspection

If I ever come across a bike that needs indicators installed I can try!

[@user-ov7nu4te4d]

I’ll change the whole thing of the water pump and it still links the antifreeze 😢what I can do ?

[@UncleMike1776]

Diagnose exactly where the leak is coming from, could be worn impeller shaft.

Merry Christmas Mike. Did you know that water from a dehumidifier is distilled.

[@UncleMike1776]

I’m using a humidifier trying to put moisture in the air!

[@michaelyarmie4858]

@@UncleMike1776 yes I got that. I was just saying. I have a commercial grade water distiller. I can make about a 3.78 liter US gallon every 2 hours. I use that water in the humidifier tank on my BiPap sleep machine. The things you gotta do to stay alive.
