Water pump impeller cross over
I just replaced the seal bearing and shaft on my 2015 xc 300. My impeller has a crack in it (which I may have caused during removal). At any rate I need a new impeller. With today Monday and the fourth Tuesday I won't even Be able to order one until Wednesday.
Does the impeller cross over to a Japanese bike? Then I can order from Rocky Mountain and it would be in my hands Wednesday. |
Go to checkpoint off road get an aluminum one better flow won't crack there great to work with
|
Thanks for the info. I will,order one this morning
|
To answer your question - nothing crosses over.
The aluminum impeller was designed by LT-Racing (and copied by checkpoint) . Les at LT-Racing looked at the design of the vanes on a honda CR250 when making the impeller. It flows better than the stock impeller. Buy the checkpoint one - it will both flow better and be more reliable. jeff |
Take note from other threads on here that to may need to modify the checkpoint impeller if it makes contact with the water pump housing
|
Order several water pump outlet gaskets, you may need 2 or 3 to get clearance over the impeller (or cut your own from heavy gasket stock).

I have a 2015 300 in a Christini AWD frame.
After reading all the threads about water pump problems I pulled mine to have a look and saw it was rubbing on the cover. I just filed the impeller down in a uniform fashion and gained all the clearance I needed without making the gasket thicker. Bike runs cooler according to my Vapor digital dash. Still plan on adding the aluminum impeller in the future. |
Impeller arrived
I received the impeller from check point two days after ordering it. Sadly my local GasGas dealer hasn't even followed up since I inquired about a stock one last Saturday.
I should have checked the forum before installing it, Yikes! I guess I will open it up in the morning. I did have it running on the stand and then for minute on the street. |
