Yamaha R6 | Complete Water Pump Rebuild | Track Bike Series

Welcome back to the channel. Today, on the build series, we rebuild the water pump with some parts from Partzilla.com. I'll list all the past numbers used shortly. Thanks

Good job

[@MotoGarageTV]

Thanks

[@francovandecruijs]

Thank you for the very clear video! 👍 I have the same waterpump on my Fjr 1300 but i have 2 bearings.... The one you pressed in and 1 inner bearing.....

[@MotoGarageTV]

I'm glad it helped. Good luck on your project. 👍

[@Skrollex74]

thanks man excellent video

[@MotoGarageTV]

Glad you liked it! Thanks

[@jimevansjimcenttheartist]

great video very informative and easy to follow. I have an R6 and am rebuilding my water pump but I don't know how to remove the old bearing. In the manual it says to tap from the inside but for the love of it won't budge. Can you please help me.👍

[@MotoGarageTV]

Hello. I'll let you know what worked for me. To remove the bearing, you'll need to first remove the C-clip retainer that holds it in place, then work from the opposite side (propeller side), and remove the mechanical seal. Afterward, you should be able to tap or press the bearing out now that you have access. Let me know if you need any more help. Thanks

Will this work for the 06-07 raven as well ? It’s typically the same right ?

[@MotoGarageTV]

Basically identical.

[@richcarthief4778]

I'm rebuilding essentially the same water pump for an fz6 and there's a lot of resistance when trying to turn the impeller after I assembled everything. Is that normal or have I messed something up? It seems to be from the friction of the white seal on the impeller touching the top of the mechanical seal.

[@MotoGarageTV]

There shouldn't be a lot of resistance. Have you changed the bearings? Have you checked the shaft for damage? warping/ bent?

[@richcarthief4778]

@@MotoGarageTV I changed the bearing and it turns fine and the impeller is brand new. I’m thinking it could be that black seal is maybe not put in completely straight or something

Hi, nice video. Just a question, just rebuilt mine but I saw in the shop manual that the oil seal is supposed to be installed against the bearing what I first didi jut then the bearing hat resistance due to the contact with the seal, so I installed it like you did, but what is the correct way to install it?

[@MotoGarageTV]

Hey, sorry for getting back to you so late. I would say go with the manual to be safe. However, the seal should not make contact with the bearing. You will run the risk of the seal prematurely wearing out and allowing oil to pass through. Go with what works. I have been running without issues ever since the upload of this video.

[@stevebirkenkampf1632]

Hi, no problem thanks for the answer. I had my two first trackdays last week and yesterday and after both I noticed an oil leak at the weep hole. I did it like you in the video because juste like you said when I put it in like the manual says it makes contact with the bearing and you can really feel it how it's making it difficult to rotate. I hope it's just some oil residue from the installation otherwise I can go for a whole rebuild since the oil seal is hard to get out without removing the other parts sitting arround

[@MotoGarageTV]

@stevebirkenkampf1632 hopefully it's not leaking, and it's just build-up like you said. If it is leaking, double check that the seal was installed in the correct direction and that it's not compromised. Check and make sure the shaft is not bent. Let me know how it goes.

[@stevebirkenkampf1632]

@@MotoGarageTV will be riding 2 more trackdays this weekend I'll let you know. And yes I checked, everything is installed like it should be. During the rebuild I even put a very thin coat of TB1215 on the oil seal (on the outside of course, not on the inside where the shaft goes) and it's seated very well, can't even push it out of position with a screw driver so that should be good. And shaft is new, I polished the old one to remove as much rust and dirt as I could but since it already had picking corrosion I said okey let's just put a new shaft aswell so I won't have to worry about the old shaft damaging the new seal

[@MotoGarageTV]

@stevebirkenkampf1632 Sounds like you covered all the bases on that install. I'm leaning towards leftover residue, but keep a close eye on it. Good Luck

[@davedorsette]

What was your total on all the parts an OEM pump assembly is like 170 free shipping. Trying to make a move thanks.

[@MotoGarageTV]

Around 75 dollars

[@davedorsette]

@@MotoGarageTV thanks for the quick reply much appreciated

[@luisamata8071]

Do you have a link to the blue pliers used ?

[@MotoGarageTV]

Sort, just seeing this now. I'll get them and post for you. I believe it was from Amazon or auto zone

[@fastlikeanascar09]

What’s the best way to pull out the bearing ?

[@MotoGarageTV]

I pressed it out from the opposite side, and it worked great. The mechanical seal is the same way. After I removed the bearing, I came in from that side to push out the mechanical seal.

[@thefinerthingsinlife5963]

Sweat it in and out

[@nextchapter_2136]

Mine still leak after rebuild..what actually happening?

[@MotoGarageTV]

Hard to say, I'm not sure what you did to help you out with your issue. Can you explain a little more?

[@alex_sid]

потому что керамическую втулку нельзя забивать глубоко. Это делается заподлицо(в один уровень) с ротором крыльчатки

[@bogdanov3536]

Дайте каталожные номера пожалуйста 🙏

[@MotoGarageTV]

I can help with that. Which parts were you interested in?
