Flyin_Shee Posted February 7, 2012 Report Posted February 7, 2012 What is all needed when doing a water pump rebuild? I've noticed several different kits include different amounts of seals/gaskets. Also, the only kit I've found that includes the bearing only includes the water pump gasket and oil seal. Would this be sufficient? Quote

I've noticed several different kits include different amounts of seals/gaskets. Also, the only kit I've found that includes the bearing only includes the water pump gasket and oil seal. Would this be sufficient? I just did this last night to my Banshee. I went from the stock platic oem impeller to a High flow billet impeller. I replaced the nylon gear, the seal, the bearing, and the impeller. It states in the Clymer's manual if you are going to replace the seal to replace the bearing at the same time. Prices I paid per item Impeller $70.00, Seal $14.90, Bearing $12.29, Nylon gear $9.09, Everything Grand Total $116.23 1 F.A.S.T. Billet High Flow IMPELLER SHAFT ASSY $79.95 2 93306-30003-00 BEARING (B6300Z) $12.29 3 93103-10168-00 OIL SEAL $14.90 4 4L0-12459-00-00 GEAR, IMPELLER SHAFT $9.09 Edited February 8, 2012 by Poolman Quote
Finch Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 gasket ,seal if the gear is still good why buy another one unless your over cautious. the bearing prolly should be replaced but if ya can get it out with out damageing it your good to use it ya have to take it out to change the seal.

Poolman Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) Mike is right about replacing the gasket. Sorry I forgot about that. I think that was like $4.00 Just saying Clymer's manual states if your replacing the seal to replace the bearing. Of course everything is your call. I wanted the added insurance.

Flyin_Shee Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Posted February 8, 2012 Is it critical to replace the clutch cover gasket or does it usually stay in good condition when removing the cover? Quote
Finch Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 Mine got trashed id suggest getting one Quote
Poolman Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 lol, and mine came off unscathed. I just ran a quick thin bead of blue rtv on the case and reinstalled the old gasket but I did buy a gasket just in case. So now I have a spare water pump gasket. Quote
wfobasheeboy Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 I would also upgrade to the billet water pump gear from Mull http://mullengineering.com/. Just my 2ct Quote
06specialedition Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 I would also upgrade to the billet water pump gear from Mull http://mullengineering.com/. Just my 2ct X2. I run the billet gear and its well worth it. Mull makes some quality stuff! I've seen the stock plastic gears melt and or break. Quote

Going to stop by the dealer today and see if they have the bearing in stock so I can order everything else off eBay. Quote
westrob Posted March 14, 2012 Report Posted March 14, 2012 Just opened mine up since I wasn't getting any fluid movement in the radiator so I knew something was wrong with the water pump, and of coarse the water pump gear was broken into pieces. I was lucky cause I was about to go out for a ride to break my new top end in but thought I'd check to make sure the coolant was flowing. I will be ordering a billet gear from mull.... Quote

Dumb ?, how can you tell if you have fluid movement in the radiator. (assuming you don't have clear hoses) Quote
Coupelx Posted April 16, 2012 Report Posted April 16, 2012 Dumb ?, how can you tell if you have fluid movement in the radiator. (assuming you don't have clear hoses) cylinders and sometimes the top of the radiator will get hot but the bottom of the radiator will never warm up. I personally see no need for anything other than a new stock impeller. the gear is iffy. Ive never had a problem but some have. If the bike is over heating you need to look at your setup, jetting or riding style. Quote

If the bike is over heating you need to look at your setup, jetting or riding style. I've been having a over-heating problem. Yesterday i put the Chariot Ultra Flow Kit, ASI over-sized radiator, ASI silicone hoses, and Engine Ice. I haven't taken it out yet to know. I would think i crossed all the bridges. But ??? Quote
