Major water pump leak
Hey guys just wanted to let you guys know that I had to take her in this week cause she was leaking coolant from around the waterpump housing and coming out of the drain line. Kawai rep said it was an o-ring. Bike has 389 miles and it drain out my all my reserve tank in about 200 miles.
Alls good now, just thought i'd pass the word on.

Hmmm
Spun bearings...
or
Water pump seal...
At least with the spun bearings you can justify going ahead and doing headwork and bumping up the compression since its apart
