Hydraulic Clutches

(1/2) > >>

NastyNick:
anybody using one of these?  As I understand it, KTM uses them as stock equipment on their bikes.

I am considering one of these, but I am wondering if anybody has any real world experience with them.  To be honest, when I road a buddies KTM 520sx, I didn't notice any real difference in clutch pull than on my K5.

KX142:
I tried a magura and had nothing but problems, I heard the Hebo is better

Rick:
Nothing but problems.  Cables all the way...

I had the Magura hyd clutch on my KX5 and in my opinion, it was not near worth the $ it cost. It did not lighten the clutch pull as much as I thought it should or as advertised. I now run a modified Motion Pro terminator cable ( see Ricks cable mod thread ) with a Works Connection lever and perch. Very smooth and light !

mikesmith:
I helped a guy once pull his 525 from a cliff(he crashed off the cliff,and the only thing holding it was a root stuck in the peg) and when we got the bike to level ground the clutch must have got air in it-no workie!
