    I have a Speed Tiple 2009 (1050). 19.000 miles
    The bike is loosing a lot of water (not visible on the outside). I ended up with a mixture of oil and water in both oil and water circuits. After 100 miles the whole brand new oil was contaminated completely.
    - Header gasket looks OK and i cannot detect any cracks in the cylinder head
    I am thinking about pulling the cylinder sleeves and re sealing the bottoms.

    BUT before i do that: Does anybody of you have any other idea of the root cause?

    (i doubt it is the breather pipe etc... I have a massive leak here!)

    I don't know this engine very well yet but on other bikes it can be the waterpump impeller seal.
