Hydraulic Clutch

<< < (2/2)

kawsf:
hello,

just thought some of you would like to have a setup like this.
i have this on two of my kx550's,the bike in the pic i just look at don't ride it much.
i have one that i have had the on for 12 years,i ride tight wood's with it and it work's great.
stock setup just heat's up to much,and is very hard to pull.
that is a stock ktm 300 slave cylinder,that i had machined on the case.
it's a tight fit,you have to run a 13 tooth sprocket so it will clear.
i use a enduro engineering lever,and cut it in have and weld a stock honda lever on the end of it.
the honda lever fit's your finger's better.
clutch pull is about as easy as a stock ktm 300.
it cost me 200.00 for the machine work,and about 300.00 for the parts.
of course you have to take the motor apart to do it ,but for me it's well worth it.
i hope this help's, if need more info just let me know and i will try to get back to you.

I have a case that is broken near the countershaft. I was looking at that same setup. Machine it flat, make an adapter and weld to case. I think many KTM slave cylinders are similar. Makes me want to start some work. Thanks

More information would be great to bad this is such an old thread . I am tempted to get a machinist to try this , it would be nice if we could get a shop trained up for the job and then just send in our case half . Then you would know what your for sure getting

Im curious what happens when you blow a chain .
