Oil Pump Part Numbers for 1991-later

1991-1997 Models - XL P/N = 26204-91

1998-1999 Models - XL P/N = 26204-98
- From the internal P/N changes it appears that this new
… P/N was generated because of a change in the Gear Shaft
… and Gerotor Return set of gears

2000-2006 Models - XL P/N = 26204-91A
- P/N change appears to be related to a fitting change

2007-later Models - XL P/N = 26204-91A(new)
- is different design w/same P/N (How crazy is that?)
- is retrofitable to 1991-2006
- has bottom cover casting P/N 26213-07

Buell P/N - 26357-02B
- same pump as XL 26204-91A(new) but different fittings
- will bolt up but you need to move other fittings over

Oil Pump Upgrade 26204-91A

  • In addition to the upgraded Drive Gear (26391-06), there is also an upgraded entire Oil Pump (first installed on 07-later Sportsters). The new pump reuses the same full unit part number as a previous version, making it difficult & confusing to know to which version someone is referring. The old (& new) part number for the complete oil pump unit is 26204-91A (that P/N first showed up in model year 2000 and used for the older design thru model year 2006).
  • The difference between the 1998-2006 version and the 2007-later version relates to the drive shaft, internal Gerotor return & feed gears and the body (which cannot be ordered separately). The internal parts for the new pump design are not backward compatible to the 98-06 pump design.
  • The only known external indicator to identify that the 2007 pump version (using P/N 26204-91A) is currently installed is the cover casting number 26213-07 which is stamped on the bottom of the new version.
  • The upgraded pump is compatible (and recommended) for use on 1991-later Sportsters.

Here are the internal servicing part numbers from 1998-2000 version and 2007 and up version:

Gerotor Feed Set 26492-91 26503-07

Note: Since the Buell P/N 26357-02B is the same oil pump as the XL P/N 26204-91A (new), except for the fittings, be sure to take a look at the pictures in the Sub-document above for that model. It shows some of the measurements of the gerotor parts.
