for those of you that have M.B.S. (multiple bike syndrome) and have the "silver wing" models.
as our sponsors also have supplies for those bikes and they are popular with the "wing" crowd.
I have my gun loaded and ready to unload it on a 82 Honda CX500 that was peeing out the weap hole on the water pump so I replaced ALL the seals that were there and it still leaks so what the sam billy hell is going on here? I thought I had it licked when I used some of lube seal which did stop it till I took it for a ride and when I got back home it was peeing all over the place??? I AM CLUELESS AND PISSED off to say the least....HELP BEFORE YOU HEAR LOUD RAPID FIRE. till then 8)

Radiator cap, have it pressure tested. Most auto parts stores should be able to test it for you for free.
Copper washer at water pump impeller. Should be replaced or annealed before reinstalling. Sometimes a leak there can be stopped with a bit of Bars Leaks or equivalent.
I've seen new ceramic water pump seals leak for a while before sealing, but usually just a slight leak.

If the pressure cap is not releasing it can push coolant out the seal.

Yes, pressure test the cap and replace the copper washer. Do not put silicon on the washer. Make sure there are no burrs on the acorn nut or surface of the impeller where the copper washer seats. Be sure not to over tighten the acorn nut.

I didn't get around to it last night I got side tracked when I went to put gas in my bad ass XS1100 special and a guy at the station asked if I knew anyone that might want to buy a XS1100 standard? and of course I had to go look at it, well long story short I just added to my family one 80 XS1100 standard so I never got around to it. I talked to a cronny of mine and he has had the same problem with those fricking CX500s and has come up with a permanent fix that is the best idea I have ever heard no its not blowing it up..stay tuned for pics later tonight.till then 8)
