Hi! water pump problem & shim sorted thanks To very helpful Penny Cox on behalf of Heynes Manuals. What I need to know now ; is there a 2 into 1 exhaust system for this bike on the market, or does anybody out there know of a reputable manufacturer that could build a system? I use this bike as a track tool but with the standard cans its a bit like going 2 up with an elephant!

help shim in engine after water pump removal! How do I retrieve it?

Hi! its a good job this is not pen & paper or I would have run out. All else has failed so consider this a begging e-mail!!!! I have removed a faulty water pump off my TRX 850. The bl**dy shim that was on the shaft dropped off into the engine. Haynes manual warns about this, but virtualy impossible to stop it happening. But it gives no advice as to how to remove the offending little bu**er! Does any body out there have any advice as I refuse to believe that this is the first ever water pump to bust on a TRX or TDM which is the same set up? So I will not believe that this has not happened before!please please please please HELP!

Hi, TRX water pump great design (not) Haynes manual tells you watch out that the shim on the shaft does not fall into the engine! Ha! Ha! After levering hitting and generaly abusing said pump it finaly decided to pop the o-rings and shoot out of place, thus dropping said shim into the engine . (bu**er) Haynes manual does not say how to get shim back out of engine please someone help! wot know one out there has ever come across this problem? Oh well back to a more reliable Honda then! Bye!
