smoush Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 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.

Moderator Airhead Posted November 8, 2012 Moderator Share Posted November 8, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Airhead Posted November 8, 2012 Moderator Share Posted November 8, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEV Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 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.

smoush Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
