The best place to find a new waterpump (or the parts to rebuild yours, most likely) is the dealer.

Many motors have the pump on the outside of the cases and don't require engine removal. But some bikes have the pump internal to the engine (yours sounds like this, but I am unfamiliar with your bike) so you have to basically dismantle the entire engine to access it. No small task, and not something to be undertaken without proper ability.

You will probably be better off having a shop do it.
