Water Pump fault

[mbw479]

Has anyone had this fault? I have just replaced the motor, all wiring is fine, the coolant has been replaced, there is a noise coming from the pump but I can’t tell if it is pumping.

Edit: Bleed the cooling system as per a pdf on the support section of the stark website, fault has cleared, bike is fine.

For those reading in the future, I had a water pump error, but it was related to aluminum from the radiator damaging the water pump magnet. I flushed the system several times and still had issues. Eventually removed the radiator and all the tubing for a thorough rinse under the kitchen faucet.

No problems now. Stark did have to send me several water pumps before I got this one fixed.

The lesson here is the coolant system is very sensitive to dirt and debris due to the electric water pump. Watch out.

When changing the coolant, if the system is properly bled, by looking into the fill hole you should actually see the flow of the coolan. If it's static there is an airlock.

I just got the red screen "WaterPump failure".
I contacted Stark and first recommended bleeding the system. As I was cleaning and drying everything after the bleeding( very easy procedure) I ran the bike for 3-5 minutes and noticed there was a seeping of fluid right at the top of the seam of the upper radiator.
I've had two friends with similar issues and Stark sent them new radiators.
If you get the error I would suspect the radiator more than the pump. The pump did circulate the fluid with no issues.
