hi all , ive got a 1997 cr125r ive had it for about a month, when i first got it i rode the bike for a few hours and then changed the oil ,the oil that came out was how it should be no water ,
put in fresh oil and i have rode it for about 9hrs over the space of 3 weekends i checked the oil and now it is grey/white milky colour i have lost coolant from the rad not a lot but its definitly gone down a bit, now if it is the water pump seal is this easy to replace and how can i tell if it has gone ??is this a common problem ?? what am i looking for will i see oil in the waterpump??,, the bike was going great didnt overheat or anything like that so pretty sure the head gaskit is ok ,,another thing is i do jetwash the bike after use and i dont have a exhaust bung i do try to avoid spraying near exhaust muffler but it might get the odd splash but not loads ,
any help would be great
cheers
