Savvy, mine was not just dripping out - it was pouring out. No keeping it topped off. If you just have a few drops, maybe they are coming from somewhere else, and the leak can be stopped by tightening a hose clamp or something. But if they are this seal, I think you'll need ti do it sooner than next winter.
All my parts finally arrived, and I have a weekend at home, so I've been working on it again. I've got the bearings installed, the oil seal installed, the new water pump seal installed, and I have just been putting the impeller shaft back in. What I have discovered is that with all new parts, the impeller shaft pushes against the spring in the pump seal, which it didn't do before. So I have to fight the spring, to get it in far enough to put the snap ring in. It all went together OK, but it seems like the impeller shaft is pretty hard to turn, while fighting this spring. It moves smoothly but takes some force to spin it. Have I done something wrong, or is this normal? If you have done this before and are familiar with it, please advise! I don't want to waste yet another clutch cover gasket.
Thanks!

Elizilla, it's definitely the seal and i've ordered the parts so i'm VERY interested in the answer to your post. I'd love some pics too as i've never done it before. hope it works out for you. wish i hadn't bought my bike or i'd buy yours off of you. always wanted the yellow one.

Savvy, one of my other friends has weighed in with an answer to my question. He says that it's normal for it to be hard to turn, until it is lubricated by the coolant.

I finished putting it all back together late last Sunday night, but didn't have any more coolant to put in it. Today I finally got some, filled it up, and started it. All is well! Yay!

ahhhhhh. parts still not here and i'm planning on heading out east on tuesday. the impeller shaft is definitely scored and i'm going to wait to get the parts before i remove the bearings and seals. if the parts don't match i still might be able to get it back together and maybe last the season. unlike elzilla the impeller was still working so i might be okay.. worst case scenario, i take my girlfriends bike(a wee)

okay, got the parts this morning and just finished putting it together after work. i left the seals and bearings in just in case the new ones weren't right. so after removing the two bearings and the spring seal, i put the new bearings and mechanical seal in and i look in the parts pile and there is an oil seal. i didn't look for it cause i swear there wasn't one in behind the bearings. i guess that's why it leaked oil after every ride. so i took the spring seal out again and put in the oil seal behind it. any one know if the 03's didn't have an oil seal there??? or could it have disintegrated and come out the drain? or did the po forget to put one in? going to take it for a ride tonight and i'm heading out to moncton tomorrow morning.
thanks for this thread, it really was a piece of cake knocking out the old bearings and spring seal on this bike
small aside, is there an easy conversion for foot pounds to inch pounds? is it only multiply by 12?

Anyone having trouble getting these parts let me know. Mine ordered from Babbitts online finally arrived, a month after I turned the DL 1000 into an ST1300. Everything ordered was for my 05. Below is the list w/ part numbers. Everything is still in the envelope, Kind of a stupid way to ship an impeller but about par with my experience with Babbitts. If interested just PM me and you can have the lot for the cost of shipping.

wow, i wish i saw this before. my timing seems to be off with all the things i do on the vee. anyway, travelled about 4000 km to new brunswick and back and not a drop of coolant spilt. it also seemed to stop the oil drip i was getting everytime i shut off the engine off, so i'm really happy with this repair. thanks all for input to this site. saved alot of money and really enjoyed working on the bike
