    I had that exact same problem, however it's not mine anymore, stoleeen.

    But, i would suggest speaking to Minor Confusion and getting an engine rebuild for either £60 or £100 i can't remember what price.

    i heard he's quite good.
    lalalalalala.

    remember i wrote HEARD.

    deffo the waterpump seal gone

    can be changed without stripping the engine but its not an easy thing to do.. also you wont be able to change the impelar and that will probably fail befor the bearings do.

    60 for a short engine 100 for a full rebuild

    that bikes looks so grimy underneath. shame the nice paintwork shows nasty secrets.

    will need the waterpump seal done for sure.

    take the engine off, clean it and strip what you can then send it to minor in the post with a cheque :)
