[QUOTE="dirt bike dave, post: 1216851, member: 18302"] If you we running it hard on the road after a long hard riding session, it is safe to assume the motor was very hot. If you downshifted through the gears (using the engine to brake) with the throttle off, you deprived the motor of cooling fuel and lubricating oil at a time when it needed it most, as your motor was very hot and revving high. The lack of fuel and oil in a hot two stroke engine can cause all kinds of problems. I think it is going to be something other than your water pump impeller. I would pull the cylinder and inspect it as well as the piston. Also inspect the rod and crankshaft for freeplay in the bottom end. FWIW, last time I de-celled a hot two stroke after a sustained wide-open top gear run on the road, I had to replace the crankshaft assembly, a center case, piston, both crankshaft bearings, etc.... Luckily my cylinder was undamaged. I'll guess if you had just cruised slowly on the road and coasted to a stop with the clutch in, your bike would be fine. They really really don't like no fuel and oil when they are red hot. [/QUOTE]
