Well, it isn't exactly cheap, but it is done right and that is worth the cost for peace of mind. I've had three or maybe four done by Arrow and I don't worry about them at all.

Its a bunch cheaper than an engine rebuild. My insurance costs a bomb, but doesnt mean its not good value etc.

Thanks guys. The pump service may not be the cheapest but the pumps will be good for at least another twenty years before they need new seals again. New seals are only a small part of the service. I introduce a modification that prevents scoring in the main bore, this was introduced later on by Yamaha. I have many large tins full of scrap main castings due to score damage.
TDR/TZR pumps are very prone to early failure of the front seal. This is not the case after I have sorted them. At the end of the day, I don't have to provide this service, but it's requested of me a lot these days. Thanks for your continued support.

Absolutely. I may bitch about the price but just knowing an expert went through the pump and it is as close to perfect as possible is worth the extra coin. Don't think I don't appreciate the work you do.
