Hydraulic Clutch

Received the Magura Jack a couple days ago...  bought it new.  I am disappointed.  The bushing on the slave unit is completely different than a stock cable bushing.  In order for the bushing to be flush against the brackets, I would have had to grind a flat spot on the bottom of the bushing.  Also, the slave actuator rod didn't line up with the clutch lever on the engine.  Fortunately, I was able to return it for a refund.  Anyone try an ASV perch and lever? 

Tumbleweed:
Anyone ever tried to mod one of these to a k5? I wonder it it's too weak because it's made for a pitbike.

I've had a Magura on my K5 for the last 4 years.   NO problems

I use the ASV clutch perch and lever on my KX500AF.  I use a CRF450R Honda brake master cylinder and ASV lever.  The brake hose comes out of the back side of the Honda master cylinder and clears the Cycra hand guards.  I bought the shorty version for clearance on the hand guards.  They work great and I'm happy with them.

Here are some pics of the poor fit of the Magura setup for $239.00.  You can see the 1/4 inch gap between the Magura bushing and the case brackets.  Then look at the difference between the stock cable bushing and the Magura bushing.  I could have made it work, but I would have had to grind down the Magura bushing.  However, the actuator on the slave did not line up well with the clutch arm.  I decided to send it back.  IMO, it should bolt on easily for that much money.
