No, it doesn't mean it can't happen, but the only "fault" I've ever personally seen or heard of, is the oil seal slipping down the shaft allowing the 2T to drain into the gearbox!
I would suspect the most likely cause of a failure to be contaminated oil blocking the filter in the bottom of the oil tank, but it's difficult to comment on when failure is so uncommon.
The flow at idle is extremely low. I don't know the figures off-hand (they may be in the manual), but I suspect visually it would appear as if the pump is broken; the feed is that slow. _________________ Andy.

yes andy you are right as mine has just dropped all its 2t oil int the gearbox
now looking at the online parts breakdown it isnt clear which is the seal???
Everything you say is right i havent removed it so nobody knows...
But we checked it and in high rpm's with the mechanism wide open and only a tiny little oil ball (dont know how else to describe it) . I will buy one thought and strip it down,chek it, untill it is perfect and then install it cause 3% oil is lots of money...
maybe a good idea is to have the oil pump in situ and add a very small amount of oil in the gas tank.
I know 2-3 NSR's here in greece having the same problem.
maybe you are running bad oil like andy said i have been here on the forum for a good few years and this is the first time i know off that a pump has failed

do you know the part n.o.
cheers phil...
The oil seal isn't available from Honda. Apparently it's the same size as some SeaDoo part or something, but I've never had to replace one, so don't know off hand!
I've suggested in the past to clean the oil seal and its housing thoroughly with white spirit or similar, and then smear a very small amount of RTV sealant on the seal to act as a bonding agent to hold the seal in place. It seems to work. _________________ Andy.

I asked my Dad to contact their company's seal supplier.
They can supply this seal, that sized seal comes in 2 slightly different elastomer rubber types, signified by the colour. (apparently G usually refers to blue, as opposed to black). Phil or Fenton, just reconfirm what colour the seal is, Fent's pic looks black? These seals are now all rubber, rather than metal - rubber, but that won't make any difference. The supplier said they are on the shelf, cost approx. £3.00 they think.
Phil, I'm overseas later today for 2.5 weeks. You can call my Dad (John) directly at JP Plant Hire on 01977 683324, if you want him to get you some seals before I get back. _________________ Rich

thanks rich but after further inspection and also what andy said the seal on my bike has not failed but just slid down the shaft and out of the pump casing so now i have cleaned everything up i have glued it in place with some silicone sealer
i had the o`rings in stock so ill give it a test and keep an eye on tthe gearbox level!!!!!
