Skywalker88 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Hi Guys, I am in the process of replacing my water pump seals on my DT125R as the coolant has been leaking into the gearbox and has emulsified, can anyone tell me if im ok to flush the gearbox through with paraffin? from what i have read online people are recommending kerosene?

Sorry should have said i already had the paraffin and didn't want to pack all my tools away to go get the correct flush. Thanks people it's been done now anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neversaydie Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Yes, you should be ok with parrafin. Ive used it for years for flushing out geraboxes/cleaning chains etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
