Normally on a car the pump is replaced with the belt as they say the pump wont outlast two belts so for safety sake they change the pump aswell

Just changed the belt on my focus and there was a slight leak on the pump
my advice is change the pump and you know its good then.

when you heard it was an ex police bike did ya not get a bit suspicious that the milage was low? especially for a 12 year old bike

Change the pump aswel for the sake of it, their not an expensive part and while the belt is off just makes sense to do it anyway !

P.S. the bike is deinitely clocked - 12 year old ex-police bike with 24K

But then the timing belt wasn't changed since 90k...or it got a new engine.

Anyway, suggest to change the belt incl water pump.
