Water pump problems on 660 grizzly

06 660 Yamaha grizzly. Water pump is blowing antifreeze out of a hose on the hosing. The hose is connected to the housing behind where the mechanical seal is located. I was told that I needed to replace that seal so I replaced the mechanical seal and oil seal in the pump. After "rebuilding" the pump I drove my bike for 5 mins and it did the same thing again... Why? What else could it be?

    If it was headgasket leak from compression, it would leak out overflow, through radiator cap, that is designed to -be- the "weak point".

Hi,if you have done all that and it still does it then it is not the problem,it sounds to me like the cooling system is pressurizing,and about the only thing that will do that is a leaking cylinder head gasket,i cant remember what the specs are,check with a yamaha dealer to find the correct psi reading for the cylinder when it is on the compression stroke,from memory should be btween 120-140 psi,but check first,then do a compression test,if the reading is say more than 10%below manufacturers specs then that will more than likely be the cause,,water will find the easiest path seals and hoses are the weak points in the system and thats where it will find its way out,hope this helps...cheers

Backfires when you try to rev up engine,

check fuel flow and check spark at spark plugs

According to an "ATV Rider" 2009 article, "When the Grizzly was introduced in 1998 as a 600cc machine, the top was blown right off the displacement wars of the time."
It was replaced in 2002 with Yamaha Grizzly 660, an even bigger engine derived from the well-established all-terrain vehicle (ATV) Yamaha Raptor 660R.
Grizzly's 660 cubic centimeter (cc), four-stroke, liquid-cooled single overhead camshaft, five-valve engine performs well in open country, but sometimes it causes serious problems for owners.
Before you call a Grizzly dealer, however, trying a few tricks in your garage can save you a lot of time and money.

Check the fuel level.
Locate the fuel meter indicator on top of the multifunction display.
If it does not work properly, open the fuel tank, and push the Yamaha 660 Grizzly side to side.
Ensure the fuel is not contaminated by water or rust.
If you have not driven your Grizzly 660 for a long time, drain the tank completely, and fill it with a fuel tank cleaner.

Check fuel hoses for cracks or leakage.
The hoses should be soft and simple to bend.
Replace those that show any sign of wear.

Check the compression.
Screw a compression tester into the spark plug hole, and press the electric starter button.
If no compression exists, contact a Yamaha dealer.
Wipe wet or dirty electrodes with a dry cloth.
The spark plug gap should be checked regularly

Correct the spark plug gap.
Measure the gap with a wire thickness gauge.
If necessary, adjust it to 0.8mm using a screwdriver or replace the spark plug.
Use only a Yamaha-specified spark plug.

Check the Yamaha 660 Grizzly's battery.
Operate its electric starter.
If the Grizzly starts quickly, then its battery is in good condition.
If the engine turns slowly, check the battery lead connections, and you may need to change the battery.
If the engine still does not eventually start, your Grizzly is beyond home repair.

1982 55 yamaha outboard ,water not coming out the water pump hole in strenght

First thing to check: Disconnect the tiny hose between the check outlet and the engine. Disconnect it at the engine side.
With an airgun, blow in the check hole from outside to engine side.
With an airgun, blow out the engine connection.
Start the engine, check waterflow out of the engine connector. If water, reconnect the hose and check the water at the checkpoint.
If still no water at the engine connection: replace the impeller!

Red park light on dash blinks after running a while

The red blinking light is just an indicator that the motor has been revved up in neutral or park. I really don't know the importance of it, but I know you have to turn the key off and back on to get it to go off. Everytime I am checking a water pump on a grizzly that happens.
