Hi all
Few weeks ago i bought 2009 gen2. After nice cleaning and few rides i noticed slight drippings on right front header. I don't paid attention to that because drips were only slight and when i bought bike, it was dirty. Yesterday after ride i noticed slight drips again, so i inspected it. At first look it seems like oil is dripping from hole on attached photo that is looking like water pump weep hole. So in that case water pump oil seal says goodbye. Inside of hole is steel ball ... it's supposed to be like that?
If it is so, need i to take special care about something when i will replace oil seal and mechanical seal for water pump?
