Hi just wondering what the water passage through the clutch case is for or should it not have one as I do need a new case as mine is corroded,if you remove the water pump cover to reveal the water pump to the left of the water channel it has a hole through to the other side of the engine . it has two coolant pipes on the water pump cover so im confused to where the watter flow goes should it circulate from the pump through the coolant pipe to the exhaust and up to the head or does it circulate the water round the exhaust to warm it up faster . thanks

It circulates water around the exhaust area for cooling as this is the hottest part of the engine.

I have an 07 Beta on which the case was corroded when I bought it. I cleaned it up and coated the corroded area with JB weld and it has been fine since. Even if you can't stop the corrosion completely you can delay purchase of new case quite a bit.

Use BS5680 antifreeze (blue ethylene glycol) mixed at 50%.

Ow ok so it has two water passages as I thought some one might of put a 2001 engine in the 06 frame .as the water flows from the pump to the block though the engine with out two pipes . And looking at new cases for a 06 the hole is blanked off that goes through the case to the crank casing which made me think iv got a wrong engine for year of bike . Thanks ian
