I have a new 2009 FZ6 with 300 miles. I have noticed that every time I shut off the bike, the water pump drips 1 or 2 drips of coolant. I called the Yamaha dealer and was told that the water pump mechanical seal could still be wearing in and could completely seal itself with a few more miles. That is what I'm hoping for. But if it does not, I'm thinking of doing the repair myself because I don't want to make the 40 mile drive to my dealer and leave it for a week if it's an easy fix. I know the cost of the mechanical seal is $28 and the gasket is $7 but just how hard is it to replace this seal? I have also ordered the service manual but have not received it yet. Can anyone who has done this repair give some insight?
