#2FWIW my bike was using a similar amount of coolant. One of the head gaskets was bad. My dealer replaced all of the head and base gaskets.

#5Try replacing the radiator cap, if it's not sealing completely it'll blow coolant out of the breather pipe.

#10Hi All
I had a read of that repair howto on the Adventurer site and decided to
give it a go. Yes, the water pump seal is definately shit itself, so it's fault
confirmed !
I ordered parts a few days ago. Today I pulled her down so that I could
confirm the fault and so that I can take the faulty parts into the dealer for
a match up (dealers here won't refund their fuckups once the parts
leave their store).
I didn't follow this guys sequence. I built the special tool to remove
the impeller (as shown in the guys howto), however, if I had undone it
using this, I would have broken the impeller since the bolt was extremely
welded by the loctite. So, I made a rectangular key (connects to the engine
side of the impeller shaft) so I could crank the bolt using a normal ratchet.
Basic
A silly question: Why not crank the impeller bolt when it's connected to the
drive assembly ?. The coupling to the crank is all metal and you can't break
any plastic. I don't understand why the guy made special tool to crank it ?.
Am I missing something ?
I noticed that the crank shaft journal (in the case -- see picture below) is
worn...hmmmm....

As somebody who is "anal" about warming up their bike to 3 bars and using
the very best syth, I am surprised to see this.
Cheers
