Hey Ivan it's smoking out of the Silencer and it smells like somethings burning. I had to fix the waterpump. The waterpump cover had a crack in it and we got it fixed and filled it with coolant.

What does it smell like? Have you ever smelled burning antifreeze - that is what I would suspect; that you are burning coolant, in which case I would suspect a gasket.

Yes it smells like burnt antifreeze.But how did I blow a head gasket? Thats what I would like to know,So I don't blow another one as soon as I get a new one.

Ran it low on coolant when the water pump was leaking? :whoa:

Just a guess.

I didn't ride it when the water pump was leaking.I have been checking the coolant often and its been filled up but not ALL the way.It could be filled up alittle more than it is now.

Sometimes head gaskets just corrode away and wear out. This is not caused from overheating or any one incident, it just happens from time to time. I'm not saying that is what happened to your bike but it can happen

The thing that makes me wonder if there is something wrong is that they were suppost to replace the Head Gasket when I got it fixed a few months ago.I have only rode it a handful of times since I got it back because we had to fix the waterpump because it was still leaking.
