Hi, the pumps do get hot in use, but only once the engine is up to full operating temperature.

Do you have the little washer on the end of the drive shaft in place ? Have you mixed a 250 shaft with a 350 pump ? Just a couple of thoughts ...

Does the shaft that came with that pump have the same amount of threads /turns on it as the one fitted to the bike ??

Don't run the bike anymore, its simply not worth it. Send me both pumps labelled up (original pump that came off the bike and spare etc) and I will sort it for you. I will know what's gone wrong as soon as I see them.

Arrow is so fast he could be classed as an emergency service !! It wont be off the bike for long if you send it to him. Dusty
