Product Description

Additional Information

An oil pump in bikes (motorcycles) is a crucial component in the engine lubrication system. Its primary job is to circulate oil under pressure to various engine parts to reduce friction, cool the engine, and prevent wear.

🔧 Purpose of an Oil Pump in Bikes

1. Lubrication: Delivers oil to engine components like pistons, crankshaft, and camshaft.

2. Cooling: Helps carry heat away from engine parts.

3. Cleaning: Circulates oil through a filter to remove dirt/particles.

4. Protection: Maintains a film of oil to prevent metal-on-metal contact.

⚙️ Types of Oil Pumps in Motorcycles

1. Gear-type pump

   • Uses intermeshing gears.

   • Common in many bikes for durability and consistent flow.

2. Rotary (trochoid) pump

   • Uses inner and outer rotors.

   • Compact and efficient—popular in modern bikes.

3. Plunger-type pump

   • Found in older or simpler motorcycles.

   • Operates with a plunger to push oil intermittently.

🛠️ Oil Circulation Systems

• Wet Sump System

  • Oil is stored in the crankcase (bottom of the engine).

  • Simpler and cheaper—used in most commuter bikes.

• Dry Sump System

  • Oil is stored in a separate tank.

  • Better for performance bikes (off-road/racing) due to consistent oil pressure and cooling.

⚠️ Signs of a Faulty Oil Pump

• Engine overheating

• Knocking or ticking noise from engine

• Oil pressure warning light

• Reduced engine performance
