YAMAHA's are known for having the bushing chirp in the upper riveshaft area on 4 strokes, but I've never heard of it on 2 strokes. As for the water, sounds like the headgasket may be done for. Has it ever been run hot?

Not that I know of. The overheat alarm works and it went off several months ago from the water pump being clogged but we have not had a problem until now.

We can pull the head and check it out.

Water in the cylinders is an almost sure sign that the head gasket went south. The only other way would be for there to be a crack in the block.
