How can I test the water pump without pulling everything out? I have changed the coolant and the thermostat, but the gauge stills seems to show hot. It rises slowly so I can only assume it is the water pump. Any help appreciatedMy Honda CX500 Motorcycle seems to run hot?what year CX500???
is it leaking coolant that you can see?
is it using coolant (having to add)?
if not, probably the impeller needs to be replaced.
