A very innovative way of bypassing the failed impeller problem. good tip.
What was the power of your electrical inverter Heike?
If any one has a F650, I'd recommend the modification below as part of prepping your moto.
Remove the OE oil return line and replace it with an a flexible armoured one. The benefit is easy access to your clutch and waterpump.
Removing the rigid line is extremely difficult and the risk is high that you will put a kink in it and that's not really easily fixable. The OE oil line also covers some of the casing bolts . Bad design.
The impeller, seals and casing gasket are very small and light and are part of my spares and on my maintenance list as a thing to check/replace prior departure.
Flushing out the coolant yearly also helps remove flaking paint debris.
Note: my lower picture does not show the 4cm gap between the coil protecting the oil return line and the exhaust.
The armoured oil line is also covered with a heat/fire resistant sleeve on the lower part.
