Hot water pump

Its tang driven from the oil pump shaft. I'm not sure if you got the pump in right. I would drain and pull the front cover off the pump. See if you can spin the impeller if you can its not being driven. You will need to fix that and make sure you did not damage the shaft. You didn't pull the clutch basket off did you? I would not run it until your sure its right

Thanks - took front cover off and could not spin. Dared to start the motor for 5 seconds and its spinning the impeller

Cool, is there any rub marks inside the pump if not then you sound safe there. When you did the lifter shaft and you filled the bike back up did you bleed the air out of the head. Right above the thermostat housing there is a bleed screw. Also you did remember to plug the fan back in? Just touching on a few things that get missed.

Yes - did the bleed screw thing- fan connected - my concern was how quickly it got hot.

Many thanks for your help
