It doesn't happen to all of them.......I think mine would have gone by now if it had a bad pump. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I have met several CB500 riders over the summer only one mentioned having water pump issues. Doesn't prove anything but just my experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cos you never hear from the hundreds of thousands of owners who've had no issues. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Is there a way to secure an improved version of the water pump? If so, I’d have it replaced as preventive maintenance. wouldn’t happen on a bmw 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
