Model: Yamaha Tmax 500
Part: Pump

To replace the water pump, first remove all the covers and panels on the left side of the bodywork. Once you have access to the radiator area, there is a plug at the bottom that you need to unscrew to drain all the coolant, ensuring you place a container on the floor to collect the fluid. Next, disconnect the coolant hoses going in and out of the pump and unscrew the mounting bolts of the pump itself. At this point, you can extract the pump assembly for replacement or refurbishment. Finally, reassemble the water pipes, refill the cooling system, and reattach all the body components.
