Water Impeler

[94yambanshee]

First what does the water impeler do??i dont even know how to spell it..also how do u go about checking it or looking at it...can someone give me directions on how to take it out and look at it and where its at

[3ban5shee0]

first off why u need to look at it why fix it if it isnt broken

and it pumps water through your engine to keep it ccool

[94yambanshee]

someone told me thats why im leaking antifreeze out the over flow?? but i dunno how to check it

[3ban5shee0]

is your bike over heating at all

maybe you just have to much antifreeze in the quad

[94yambanshee]

No it doesnt but..when i get it hot pours out from the overflow..onto my exaust i have no clue whats wrong with it..i really wish i could figure it out..but its not seizing up nothing running really hott so i have no clue

[3ban5shee0]

well if its not running hot my guess would be just to much antifreeze in your bike and if thats not it i have no clue good luck and hope its nothing serious

Try a search on here for coolant bottle relocate. They way the hoses are routed you will get antifreeze on your pipes. Mine did the same thing until i rerouted my hoses to the

backside of my cases. problem solved. Install a temp gauge to monitor your temps to see if your really getting to hot.

This is essentially your water pump. A standard car water pump has an impeller intergrated with the entire housing that most people invision. Your banshee has the impeller installed in the side case. You should check it out if you really are up on your bike, because eventually the stock impeller will wear out. Also, the design of the aftermarket impellers is far superior to the stock design. The fin configuration is a closed impeller design, so it will give you better flow of coolant. A good billet impeller will run you $80-$100 depending on the source, but I consider it cheap insurance against overheating. Oh yeah, check into relocating your bottle too.

Dont worry about it leacking just plug the hole with a bolt and point it at your chest...

Dude, checking or even changing your w.p. impeller is a snap.

 

Simply remove your clutch side case cover.

-then remove the impeller gear. be sure not to loose the snap ring or the gear pin!

-then remove the pump impeller cover(on the outside of the case cover)

-remove the brass-ish cover inside the pump cover.

-then remove the impeller.

 

insallation is the same only in reverse. While your in there replace the impeller with a quallity billet piece. Some cheep insurance as they say.

 

Also check out your clutch for any signs of break-down

 

Then fill er' up with some good gear oil and ya should be good to go.

 

Good luck

hey u ever find out what the problem was

[MILO]

if you get in there and see the stock pos plastic impeller, while you're messin, rip that bitch out and replace with an aluminum one. the stock one is destined to fail, and probably cause other problems. besides pieces of the busted/shredded stock one floating around your system, it blows the seal behind the impeller letting anti-freeze leak into your tranny. the anti-freeze degrades the clutch plates to the point of slipping, and eventually losing the clutch all together. it can be a costly rebuild depending on the damage done. not to mention all your tranny components getting a nice antifreeze residue on them. be proactive, not reactive in maintaining your ride and you'll have a lot less headaches. oh yeah, and you might as well replace the seal and bearing too if you do the impeller while you have it apart.

coolant comin out the overflow can also be caused my something pressurizing the coolant system. if u have a bad seal or maybe a bad head gasket itcan pressurize the coolant system and cause it to shoot out the overflow. mine was doin that and it happened to be a bad oring on the head. replaced it and never had the problem since..
