Of the 4 12's that I had dealings with around here... I never heard of anyone having to change a water pump. I think the average mileage on the bikes was around 10,000. Years were 2001,2001,2002,2003. Is yours making noise... leaking or just curious?? Too many 1/4 mile runs against the 14's??!! ha ha

mine is 2000.i bought new .it has 37000 miles now.seals went bad and started to leak out the weep hole.
i have change coolant once a year for one reason or another.
forget about taking the seals out of the body. they were seized up.just buy new body ,seals and o-rings from ron ayers.100 bucks.easy job.

i'm beginning to think that the hose that goes to the bottom of the coolant reserve tank that was pinched for a couple of months cause the pump to fail.sometimes the tank would be completely full and then some times very little.sounds like maybe the system could'nt flow enough and blew the seal.
this is why i posted on all the sites.it's looking like i caused this myself.
SO WATCH THAT HOSE!
