KTM LC8 oversized water pump repair kit

KTM LC8 oversized water pump repair kit. This kit consists of a water pump overhaul kit for LC8 engines, a clutch cover gasket, bolts, washers, and an oversized water pump. The water pump is substantially larger. The impeller is 6 mm thicker. The oversized impeller is a component designed to increase the system's cooling capacity. The kit is made of black anodized 6082 aluminum with a special base that raises the lid, increasing the flow (hydrodynamically tested) of 52% of the coolant and improving heat exchange. This modification allows to stress the bike less (thermally) during hot periods without compromising anything during cold periods since the thermostatic valve is capable of compensating for the increase in cooling (simply by staying more closed). To increase the flow at the same engine speed, a simple increase in the surface of the impeller blades is used, obtained thanks to the insertion of a special spacer placed between the engine base and the water pump covers. This means the radiator fan starts up much less and stays on less, with decidedly lower running temperatures and the benefit of optimal bike cooling.

All the profiles of the impeller have been designed to avoid unpleasant cavitation phenomena.

Our opinion

It's well known that KTM engines generally deliver great power and are practically race-ready machines. But it's also true that these engines operate at high temperatures, which can sometimes lead to failure. With this oversized KTM LC8 water pump repair kit, we not only repair the shaft to prevent oil and water from mixing, but we also increase the water flow without causing cavitation, thus maintaining operating temperature without having to use the motorcycle's electric fan as much. If you add the second fan to this kit, you ensure the best possible performance on this motorcycle.
