kimofj Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Anyone try the Magura Hydraulic clutch conversion? Thoughts. Kimofj burnt Ojai ca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buggy Nate Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Yep, got it on my bike, love it! The clutch is very easy to modulate and is a lot lighter and smoother. Never need to worry about silly cables again! Make sure you get the longest lever they make, clears the switchblock a lot easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimofj Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 Ya I read that R-1 longer cable fix but the Hydraulic clutch had got to be better I'm thinking. kimofj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimofj Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 Thanks VDUBOY was Magura Hymec Hydraulic Clutch System - 2100004-50 the one you went with. kimofj PS do you (or anyone) know of a good source for a better price$$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was close to the Mt-09 kit but with a longer hose. And no I too paid through the nose for it! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted February 4, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted February 4, 2018 The slipper-assist clutch from the XSR and 2017 FJ would reduce lever pull and add a host of other benefits, and whereas there still would be a cable, it would be under significantly less stress and strain.

Premium Member keithu Posted February 4, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted February 4, 2018 Never need to worry about silly cables again! That's true, but now you need to flush clutch fluid on the same interval as brake fluid. You've traded one kind of maintenance for another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimofj Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share Posted February 5, 2018 That XSR slipper clutch does sound like a great swap out. Maybe I'll do it if I have to do any future clutch work. kimofj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member keithu Posted February 8, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted February 8, 2018 Less than a minute with a vacuum bleeder.. good trade I say! ? Yes, I suppose that's true. I've been averse to hydraulic clutches ever since the clutch master cylinder failed on my VF700 Interceptor way back in 1991. I was riding in to work wearing my US Navy dress whites, and they looked a little less dressy after being doused in hydraulic fluid. That was the first and last bike I ever owned with a hydraulic clutch. It's a personal hangup, I know. I've definitely experienced a few clutch cable failures over the years, but none of them ever ruined my pants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already broke a genuine cable and then the replacement I made was on its way too, I do like the simplicity of cables but hydraulic is a nicer feel and lighter pull so I rather them now.
