09 570 wtaer pump seal.

I've seen this on other bikes. Highway cruising at higher rpm. Cylinder pressures are higher and lifted a head enough for the water jacket to get pressurized. Problem was improper cylinder head torque caused by no washers under the cylinder head nuts. The nuts would score into the aluminum head and give a faulse torque reading. I doubt it is your problem but you might want to get a torque wrench on the head and see.

Your thread says water pump seal, but, it is un clear to me where the coolant was coming from?

Was it coming out the weep hole?

You know, radiator caps do go bad sometimes. Do you have the fan on your bike?

if you need a new gasket Bergsmlerga hit Gazza up for where he gets his copper ones

I asked but it must be top secret casue hes not answering :cry:

These one look nice http://www.scegaskets.com/KTM/450530-Bi ... nding/true

i had water coming out of the weep hole and thought it was the seal, worked out to be the impeller had broken and the nut that holds it had come off its thread,because the water was not citculating it became very hot hence weep hole, new impeller and locktight the nut in place and all was fine.

G'day Berglesmerg,

I just fixed my weepy tell-tale problem.
I own a 09; berg 570 and have put 11200klm or 220+hrs on it since March last year.
Since new it has leaked coolant from the tell-tale, and not the radiator overflow.
I have replaced the water and oil pump seals several times and checked the impellar shaft for trueness and imperfections. It still leaked.
I have now had a look at the top end and replaced the piston, rings and gaskets, the oil and water pump seals impellar and shaft. No more leaks.

The interesting thing is, I got a factory work shop manual CD off the dealership I bought my OEM parts from, and the diagram showing the position of the water pump seals are reversed from what my manual shows that I got with the bike. There is a direct contradiction in the way the parts are shown to be installed. I consulted many ppl about this and I am certain I have my seals, now, positioned correctly. This is in reverse to how my bike came from the dealership floor. One of the seals has a metal lip, this goes on the oil side, not the water side, as water and metal don't play well together. Low n behold after doing this, my berg doesn't leak like an old dog with a bladder problem

I hope this info helps you.

By the way warranty should cover me, but it doesn't, and i feel like killing any one who says that Bergs come with "warranty". What a joke! They should call it sucker warranty.

damn straight, the big berg gets around. in a big hurry. ha ha.

what does QAQC and LDC stand for?

I think QAQC is Quality Assurance Quality Control.

LDC is a term I first seen Taffy use in a post. He never answered the question as to what it stood for, but someone guessed Laid Down Cylinder. Think Bushie the Bundy Drinker guessed it from memory.

I thought you typed 220 hours as a mistake. I got mine in Feb 2010 and it only has 25, I need to get out more

my 09 450 has just started to leak out the weap hole, what do you suggest?
putting in a waterpump kit or head gasket?

stupid dealer told me i had a pin hole in a hose and replaced that :angry:

installed my new pump seals and all working fine now, put the water side seal with the spring facing the coolant rather than the weep hole like standard

did 520 ks trail ride cobar to mont hope and return 5 bergs 2 with problems one preasurised radiator possible head gasket mine had the copper gaskett in but had weephole problems checked the seals the coolent side one installed backwards i also fitted a coper pipe and hose out of the weephole to stop mud and dust getting in i have changed out the 7amh battery with the SHORAI 14 amh 208 dollars from the usa great machine but for the head gasket and the weephole
