R1 Thermostat inlet pipe leak
Kriss - 20/2/10 at 06:33 PM

Hi All,

Went over the r1 today,

Notice one of my thermostat inlet pipes had leaked and filled the top of the cycliner head moulding with coolant (about 2 cm deep)

look as if the pipe work is leaking between where it joins the block. looks like an O ring needs replacing.

Question is, where from???

also, anything I shoud be careful of? Looks liek the stat pipes (X2) just have one bolt intot he block and thats it.

drain water, undo bolt & pull pipe out. New sealing washers are availble at Yamaha dealers. I replaced mine in minutes.
