water pump??!!

[carpo]

Hi all, my 2000 yr fazer 600, has started to make an occasional noise, like a dry bearing poss. I have noticed  the oil has gone a bit milky,the coolant hasn't dropped from full. I am guessing the pump is knacked, can they be repaired? Or anyone got any ideas? Thanks

To many short trips building up condensation/custard in the oil, take it for a 50 /60 mile blast, and watch the custard disappear.
Not sure about the odd noises though, could try earplug's

Thanks Mick, I do only 6 miles per day to work so that seems to make sence. Should i change the oil? or will it just do the same and ruin the new oil? Will it do any harm running it while milky? We sell ear plugs!! i might just try it!

Depends on when the oil was last changed, take it out for an hour or so to make sure it is condensation then if you feel the oil needs changing ...........................
