So being putting the 1990 back together , threw the battery in it last night
and after 3 trys (bike not started in 5 weeks) she fired up.

Issue

Up on the lift with the fairing off I noticed slight steam coming from around
the water pump then once she got hot it stopped. Now it was not leaking
when cold either. Anyone ever noticed this before ? I'm thinking the gasket
might be on the way out ! ....any opinions ...... kinda strange to me maybe
the pump needs tightening down ?

 

It would leak MORE when hot due to higher system pressure so I think the gasket is sound.

If it's not been run for 5 weeks my guess it is was steaming off condensation as the water warmed up.

Keep an eye on the levels just to be sure.

 

Makes sense Dean thanks, will keep an eye on her. Hope to take her out this w/e
as the temps are going up for a few days yay

 

It sounds hammered up. I'll give you $500 for her. I can pick her up this w/e.

I agree, steaming off condensation on the motor could do that.

 

I'll give you $510, but you have to hold it till spring.

You have enough room anyways with that giant lift and all

Well all done with the waterpump question I guess.

Closing time
