Blew the water pump seal

Blew the water pump seal

Postby Russell on Wed Oct 08, 2008 6:44 pm

My Renegade kept overheating and going into limp mode last weekend. Took it home, washed it and put it away. When i pulled it out yesterday to check it out and top off the radiator, i started it and water spewed out of the weep hole or the nut just above it. Hard to see. Anyway it is in the shop and looks like the water pump seal blew. Probably wont get it back until the first week of November if I am lucky. Anyway, guess I will see you all when I get it back.

Josh, My bike is at the south store now, I usually deal with Mike (service manger, I think) but he is on vacation. Barry took the bike in. I always have had great service when Mike handles it. Barry advised that they won't get it in the shop until the 23rd of Oct. If it is the water pump seal, the manual says the motor needs pulled which will obviously take some time. I am indeed interested in speeding up the down time. Do you have the "new" guys name? When we last discussed Redline, it was clear that you had problems with them and I would like to see that partnership improved and hopefully get my bike back sooner. Thanks

Russell I talked to Eric this morning and he said he saw the bike back there and that he would check on seeing if he could get it expedited...I told him that you were the one of the few that has defended Redline when all others included myself had shit talked them....he said he would get on it and see if he could get it pushed through...lets see if he can make it happen. He made no promises...but that he would follow up on it

Hey Josh, Recieved a call from Barry at Redline today. The bike was looked at today (8 days earlier than expected) and the water pump seal is blown. They have ordered the parts and said the bike should be ready Oct. 31. They are at least one week ahead of schedule on my bike. Thanks for your efforts. I will try to drum up some type of sponsorship from redline for some of your events. Hope everything is going well at Bigwoods and that I can get back there soon.

I will be there this weekend. Seems like everybodies quad down here is breaking down and with money being tight, they are holding off on repairs. Like I said, I will be there saturday, hopefully with someone on my spare quad. Man I miss riding and Bigwoods looks to be getting better everyday. See you all then.
