First remove the EXUP servo bolts.
Then remove the can.
Then remove headers.
Then remove the oil drain plug and drain oil.
Remove oil level sensor bolts and pry oil level sensor out of oil pan.
Remove oil pan.
Remove pickup rod and oil screen.
Remove crank case oil tube.
Remove u shaped oil tube.
Remove weep hole tube.
Remove the water pump chain guard.
Remove bolt holding sproket on water pump. (Dont loose washer beneath)
Remove bolts on the outside of crank case and remove input and output tubes.
Remove bolt holding water pump in place.
Remove the dowel from the previous bolt hole.
Slowly rock the pump back and forth pulling towards the right side of bike.


The rest is pretty self explanatory.
Ensure there are no cracks on the top of the new mechanical seal. Imspect the shaft of the impeller to check for pitting. If you find any replace the impeller. ALWAYS REPLACE OIL PAN GASKET.

i took my r1 waterpump off and replaced it, i put it back together and it started fine , i took it for a little ride and my temp jumped up to 255 and i kept hearing a little click , i checked the radiator cap and thermostat, fan all were working fine, any idea why its heating up so high and the clicking noise

I'm on the case at the very momwnt as my oil pump gone last week giving me a lot of pudding lol from the sump hole.
Definitely no need to remove the clutch basket.
Sprocket jumps out of the chain fairly easy with a little bit of wiggling one the whole pump is bolt free and loose.
Good luck
