Water loss

[smoush]

I have a dt125x which seems to be loosing water after a few uses a day. When its stood for long or over night periods theres no trace of water on floor etc, the bike is running perfect apart from that.. Quite confused can anyone help.

Thanks Chris

its usually the head gasket gone but can also be the water pump seal, in that case check your gearbox oil isnt a milky emulsion of oil and water

Ok mate thanks I'll check the oil tomorrow, if its fine ill just get the seal done and see what happens. Thanks

***gasket

if it's fine then check the head gasket

some tell-tale signd for the head gasket are water dripping from the frame (well it was on the DTR), and possibly bubbling in the expansion bottle in a bad case

If it does turn out to be the head gasket like Airhead says, use either a genuine Yamaha or an Athena one, not a cheapo off Ebay, or you'll be replacing it again in about 3 weeks time, I take it you checked all your hose connections too? as water will usually only leak from them whilst under pressure, meaning they probably wont leave tell tale puddles on the floor overnight.

Thanks for your replys guys its ended up being the water pump oil seal, found oil in the water and vise versa :s hopefully this is the only problem now because its not been the only one with this little bugger lol

Thanks again chris
