i have a vmax 600 2002 the water pump is leaking like alot of them do. i know i need seals ect, but i only have so much time left to ride would i be able to limp by just keep adding to it or will i cause more damage and is there a temporary fix for this like stop leak or something? that would hinder my cooling
system? thanks again
 
Buy the new seals .It would only take you a couple of hours to put them in. I would not chance adding a a sealing product.
 
the leak is coming from the pump, bad seals. i know this. it is not bad every other tank i have to fill the antifreeze bottle on the sled. i just don't want to have to remove the engine mid winter to fix this. i have order the parts to have on hand if the problem gets worse i guess all i want to know is will i be causeing more damage by just adding fluid or can i make it till the spring? thanks
 
i would say run it,my buddy ran his leaking last year for over 600 miles before he fixed it,you just don't want it leaking in the cyl or case or running out and over heating...

why would you remove your engine? you can replace the water pump seals with the engine still in the sled.
