impeller

[christ6]

is the plastic gear inside to the rigth side (under the clutch cover) the impeller itself or just a gear that turns the impeller? cause i been reading that the impellers are shit and break alot and the thing which i just described i have just found to broken under the clutch cover

is this the peice you can get made from billet that is alot better?

[woodwardspecialties]

pro design and a few other companies offer billet impellars.

The plastic gear, is what turns the impellar, and as far as I know, you have to use the plastic one from Yamaha. The impellar is also plastic, and if you're replacing the gear, you might as well get the billet impellar, so you have one less worry in the future.

The plastic gear is white, this is only replaceable as a factory yamaha part. The piece that is green is the impeeler, and can be replaced with a billet one.

One thing to remember is, because of that dumb idea of the plastic impeller drive gear, if the water pump bearings start going south, that gear will shear right off and you will totally lose cooling. Make sure the bearings are in good condition.

if your gonna replace the water pump impeler and gear u should replace the bearing also.

It would be wise to replace the seal also, if the bearing needs replaced. Just cover your bases.

[RoostRocket]

while your in there you might as well do a complete rebuild...j/k :wink:

i didn't replace the gear, but i did replace the impeller, seal and bearing altogether when i did mine. the seal and bearing are cheap and easy to install. do it right the first time bud. :thumbsup: oh yeah, and don't forget new gaskets for the side cover too.

:biggrin: yep i sure have, and i will continue on doin so if i cant find anything in canada with good stuff, but importing that stuff into canada cost me nearly an extra 100$ and i also orders from noss at the same time which cost me about the same, real pain in the ass when its all said and done, customs ends up being the ones making all the money

anyways im sure ill be in touch with you again sooner or later

 

little off topic but anyone know of a site like this site (which is extremely helpful) where i can find info on kx 250's?
